Hi, my name is John, and I'm new to Sheboygan. After junior sailing out of Belmont Harbor in Chicago, I was on the sailing team at Western Michigan U racing dinghies and keelboats. Like our other instructors, I love sharing the sport of sailing with people of all ages, and am lucky enough to do so in Sheboygan! My wife and I have two precocious dogs, Fletcher and Pancakes, and my favorite ice cream flavor is Mackinac Fudge.
