Chris started to learn sailing in the Northeastern part Poland on the Mazurian Lakes during his college years on various small sailboats. After graduation his fascination with sailing took on a new twist when he moved to the Bay Area and enrolled in sailing classes here at Spinnaker Sailing Club in Redwood City.
Chris loves sailing the Bay. He often sails the coastal Pacific waters. He has charted sailboats in numerous locations such as the British Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, the San Juan Islands in the Pacific Northwest, and Southern California – the Channel Islands.
From time to time he goes back to where it all started, the Mazurian Lakes…
When not sailing, Chris enjoys time with his wife and son hiking, kayaking, fishing and camping in the California outdoors. In his professional life he works as a Quality Control Manager at a local Bay Area biotech company helping to develop drugs against anemia, liver cancer and tissue fibrosis.
