In my leadership role, I am responsible for the end-to-end development and management of talented and dedicated professionals throughout MID-SHIP’s worldwide organization and the strategic direction, operation, and growth of our company's global business. I have a strong track record of delivering innovative and efficient services to our clients, partners, and stakeholders, leveraging my expertise in international logistics, logistics management, and ocean freight. I have built upon our founder’s vision of training and qualification in ship broking as a profession and continue to foster our founding philosophy of providing our clients service based on hard work, integrity, and professionalism.

Raised in New York City, I currently reside with my wife on Long Island. During my four-plus decade career as a ship broker, I have lived and worked in New York, Oslo, and Singapore. I am the proud father of six and a founding member of The Ascent Funding Organization and The Ascent School for Individuals with Autism. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to the global ocean logistics community.
