I grew up sailing and yachting on the Great Lakes, where my lifelong passion for the water first took root. With firsthand experience of both the joys and challenges of yacht ownership, I bring valuable insight to every client relationship. As a seasoned competitor in long-distance sailing races, I understand the dedication and sense of adventure that define the boating lifestyle.

Based in Chicago and throughout the Great Lakes region, I'm proud to bring Rick Obey Yachts to the North expanding access to world-class luxury yachts in one of the country’s most vibrant boating communities. By blending my deep personal connection to sailing with extensive knowledge of the luxury yacht market, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted yacht broker. Known for providing expert guidance and personalized service, I strive to make the process seamless for both first-time buyers and seasoned sailors ensuring every client finds their perfect vessel with confidence and ease.
