I'm thrilled to report that the International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA) has named me the Sailboat Broker of the Year for 2019. IYBA was founded in 1987 to bring yacht brokerage professionals together to ensure and maintain high business standards, professionalism and ethics. So I'm especially honored because this award is voted on by IYBA members -- my working peers in the industry. The award is granted to a yacht broker who primarily sells sailboats, which is where my lifelong yachting experience began. And while I'm delighted that we still celebrate the spirit of sailing and honor the heritage that started it all, I'm also deeply committed to my many motor yacht clients. Thank you to my colleagues who chose to recognize me among the numerous outstanding yacht brokers who work tirelessly to provide excellent service every day for each one of our clients all around the world.
