Meet Alex – Your Trusted Partner on the Water

Alex’s love for boating began in 1996 with a deeply personal moment: taking his newborn son, Kyle, out on the water for the very first time. From that day forward, boating became more than just a hobby—it became a way of life. Cruising the Occoquan, Potomac and Chesapeake Bay with his wife and two children, Alex discovered not only the freedom of the water, but also the warmth of a close-knit boating community that became extended family. After a successful career as both an IT entrepreneur and U.S. Government Civil Servant for Homeland Security, Alex followed his passion south, relocating to Florida in 2018 to embrace the full spectrum of boating life that include saltwater fishing, diving, spearfishing and docking at the vibrant waterfront restaurants that define South Florida’s unique boating culture.

After helping friends and fellow boaters navigate their boat-buying journeys, Alex noticed a common gap in the industry: a lack of true customer focus. Seeing the opportunity to bring a higher level of service and care, he joined Knot 10 Yacht Sales to help both first-time and seasoned boaters find their ideal vessel with confidence. His firsthand boating experience along the East Coast—from the DC metro area down to South Florida—Alex offers local insight, honest guidance, and a dedication to matching clients with the right boat the first time. His mission? To help you live your best boating life, stress-free and fully equipped for new adventures.
