Meet The Staff
Location: West End, Tortola
Aloha parents, family, and friends. Meet the staff for Session 2 on Harbor House Out! We’ve been working hard the last few days preparing for our students to arrive and can’t wait. We are so excited to meet all 12 of our shippies today and are so ready to get out on the water.
Meet the crew:
Skipper - Aden
I grew up primarily in Sarasota, Florida, where I spent much of my teenage years racing a variety of high-performance sailboats. Each year, when the racing season wrapped up, I would spend his summers teaching learn-to-sail classes at a non-profit sailing program based in Sarasota. I have spent the last two summers at Action Quest, and I couldn’t be more excited to come back for a third! I am looking forward to using my background in sailing to teach students how to sail! When not in tropical paradise, you can usually find me surfing or scuba diving with friends, in the gym, or sailing whatever boat I can get my hands on.
Dive Instructor/ Mate - Bailey
A Rhode Island native, Bailey began her scuba journey as a young camper at ActionQuest and is excited to come back now as a Dive Instructor. After university, she moved to NYC, where she eventually traded her desk for a backpack to explore and work remotely abroad. While traveling, she earned her Divemaster and Instructor certifications, discovering a true passion for teaching along the way. Whether she’s underwater or on deck, Bailey loves exploring new places and making new friends along the way!
Mate/ Medic - Jimmy
Jimmy is from Los Altos, California in the San Francisco Bay Area where he spent a lot of time in and around the ocean and which gave him a love for surfing, swimming and any other activity in the water. Jimmy currently attends University of Oregon where he studies geography and is a member of the club water polo team. In the fall of 2022 He joined a Seamester Transatlantic program aboard S/Y Vela where he found a passion for scuba diving. He does most of his diving in Washington and Oregon where he likes to catch Dungeness crab with his friends. In his free time you can find him surfing, biking, reading, cooking and getting outside as much as possible. Jimmy is hyped to join the AQ team this summer!
We are all really excited to meet everyone, and we cannot wait to get our sails up!!!
