My work began on the water. Offshore and ocean racing taught me how to make judgement calls in constantly changing conditions, and learning how much you depend on the people around you. Developing and building racing yachts taught me why materials and craftsmanship matter beyond theory.

Those experiences raised questions I could not leave unanswered. About what we build, what we discard, and what we pass on. They led, over time, to work across advanced materials, strategic direction, maritime heritage and education.

The contexts are different. The underlying intention is the same: to build things that do not depend on one person, and do not stop once the initial work is done.
