Designer / Design Manager / Creative Director – For the better part of 2 decades I designed boats for Sea Ray, Bayliner and other Brunswick brands. As the concept development manager I lead the design team that developed the concepts for well over 100 boat projects and have either influenced or directly designed the exterior, interior, layout, architecture, helm / work stations, features and details for these boats.
In particular I am proud to have designed and developed the Sundancer 470 Exterior design and layout, the Sundancer 510 exterior design, and features, the SLX 350 exterior design and features and the SLX 400 Exterior Design, layout, features and detailing. As in any design environment, there is synergy and designers working off each other. There is never any one person that owns that design. The best products are always a collection of the best ideas and as a design manager, these ideas need to be sorted and nurtured into a compelling and holistic design – I started Avast Design in September of 2018. After 2 years we have designed and developed product for Cobalt, Mastercraft – Aviara, Hurricane and Edgewater boats - I am heavily rooted in the belief that you provide the customers a reason to do business with you! Let me show you the Avast Design difference

Including a keen eye for aesthetics, surfacing and design detailing I have a strong working experience with Rhino 3D modeling, Rendering software including Keyshot as well as multiple sketching and visualization tools. I have designed all types of boats from premier fishing boats to jet boats to luxury yachts, cruisers and sport boats that range from 13' - 70'. I have worked in both concept and refinement capacity and know how to get your vision into reality.
