Vince DiLeo, AMS® has been living a double life for as long as he can remember. Many years he sat in a corporate cube writing about computers on computers. He took his Masters in Technical Instruction from San Francisco State University believing it was a good way to support his passion — boats. When he was not writing, he was sailing or driving power boats. He studied at the Chapman School of Seamanship to hone his boating skills and returned to Chapman's to complete the Yacht & Small Craft Survey program. His continuing education policy is taking him to The Wooden Boat School in Brooklin, Maine to study wooden boat survey techniques. He holds a USCG Mariner Near Coastal license with a 100-ton limit, an ASA Coastal Cruising Certification, and Marine Radio Operator Permit. He is a member of the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors, USCG Auxiliary, American Boat & Yacht Council, Boat/US Technical Exchange.
