Jeremiah Cole-Kelly

I grew up in Westfield, NJ, but spent all of my summers on Swartswood Lake. There I learned to sail my family's Sunfish. I spent hours on the water learning the wind patterns of the lake and creating my own courses with the local sailing clubs buoys. I also managed lone boat rental on the lake. During the weekends I helped teach people how to sail Sun Fish and AquaCats.

I graduated with a degree in Business and Sports Management from Juniata College in Central PA. While in school I earned honors as president of both the Ice Hockey and Street Hockey clubs, helping to bring both clubs to the next level of competition. During the Summer of my freshman year I participated in my first Caribbean sailing experience with Sail Caribbean. Needless to say I have been hooked ever since.

I also participated in Sea Education Association's summer program. There I spent three weeks helping to sail the 134-foot brigantine, Corwith Cramer, around the Gulf of Maine. Sunrise, bow watch, a memory I will never forget.

This will be my second season with the club. This year I will be in charge of making your Willy Wall experience the best it can be. I hope to see you all out there this summer, for some great music, cold drinks and good times.
