As a young man, Butch was standing at the sea, when he fell in love with what he saw, the wind pushing beautiful sailing vessels across the waters so effortlessly. It wasn't long before he was crewing for many racing skippers around the club's courses. As father time marched on, he became less content with his land career, so a few years ago he left it for a life on the Bay. He is currently the president and CEO of Tradewinds Sailing School and Club in the San Francisco Bay area.
