About Maine Craft Design

I was born in Maine and grew up sailing the beautiful coast of Kennebunk and Kennebunkport with my dad. After college I came back home and crewed on a sailing charter boat that departed from the very dock our small family sailboat had called home years before. It didn't take me long to realize I had salt water running in my veins. I got my captain's license and made the ocean a permanent part of my life.with my dad. After college I came back home and crewed on a sailing charter boat that departed from the very dock our small family sailboat had called home years before. It didn't take me long to realize I had salt water running in my veins. I got my captain's license and made the ocean a permanent part of my life. Not long after getting my captain’s license I started work aboard a lobster tour boat. We'd take passengers out, haul traps, and teach them about lobster and the sea. I started soaking up all the knowledge I could about the lobster industry and all things nautical. Fast forward 15 years and I'm still learning. I found a love for passing along my knowledge to willing listeners on boats or on land. Whether it's through one of my Lobster Talks, online lessons about knot tying or the tides, or through unique nautical-inspired gifts, my goal with Maine Craft Design is to connect with fellow lovers of the sea and hopefully teach them something new.
