Bob’s business commitment to the NW boating community is unparalleled. As owner of Sail Northwest, the local dealer for J/Boats, MJM Yachts power yachts and a sailboat - powerboat brokerage he sells and services discriminating boat buyers.

Fourteen years ago Yachting Magazine cancelled Whidbey Island Race Week, one of the top ten regattas in the US and the premier NW sailing event. Bob thought it important to the sailing community to keep the event alive and with a partner he started Northwest Marine Productions who brought you Whidbey Island Race Week from 1994 to 2007 and J/Fest NW for the past 25 years and still going strong. He also was involved with Sail Sand Point Benefit Regattas and is currently running the Shilshole Friday Night Sail Fest.

In 2002 Bob as principle partner bought the Seattle Sailing Club, a sailing club with 230 members offering unlimited day-sailing and teaching as many as 800 sailing lessons per year. “It is important to grow our sport and through the Seattle Sailing Club we introduce people to our great asset, the waters of Western Washington.”
