Sponsorship Opportunities

Photo by: Pat Reynolds

I would like to invite you or your company to sponsor me in this endeavor. I have invested my own life savings into purchasing a suitable boat. My father, a British-trained Shipwright has invested much time and money for the highest quality reinforcements and equipment. At this point, I am well on my way. I have nearly crossed the Pacific Ocean and am going strong.

The voyage has been covered by national and international media and would provide enormous exposure for any company or companies interested in a sponsorship. Since my journey began in June of 2008 a huge international following has developed who have been greatly inspired by learning of my trip. The boat is now equipped with 7 video cameras through out the boat to capture my journey at sea.
