Ian has a pretty unique story on his journey to our team. Growing up in Maryland the Chesapeake has always been a part of his life story, although coming from a family of mid-westerners he spent very little time on the water as a child. After spending six years in Nebraska Ian return home to coach football and spend the next few years as a teacher and a bartender in Annapolis. It was only after chance conversation with one of his regulars, who happened to be a local yacht broker, that Ian was introduced to the marine industry. Ian immediately gravitated to the field and became a full time salesperson in 2013.

Since then Ian has developed a reputation as one of the best and hardest working yacht specialists on the Chesapeake. His unique introduction to the yachting industry has given him a similarly unique “outsider” perspective on yachts and yachting, which has allowed Ian to better understand his client’s wants, needs, and potential questions or concerns about any yacht and yacht ownership in general. He has also taken key aspects of his past experience and applied it beautifully to his approach in the yachting industry. As a restaurateur, the customer is always right, and it’s the job of the restaurateur to properly inform the customer so they can make the best decision possible. The same applies to purchasing a yacht. Additionally, Ian prides himself on telling his customers what they need to know, not what they want to hear; a rarity in the yacht sales business.

While specializing in yachts of the Prestige range, since represented multiple manufacturers and nearly every type of yacht imaginable, from center consoles and bowriders to cruisers, trawlers, yachts, and mega yachts over 100′ in length. Additionally Ian has developed a tremendous expertise in the brokerage market, helping customers find the right pre-owned yacht that fits their needs or getting their current yacht sold as quickly as possible for maximum value.

Long story short, whether you’re buying or selling, new or used, you’ll be hard pressed to find better representation than Ian, who is prepared to work harder and smarter than anyone else to help make your dream a reality!
