Phil Arnold - Engineering Manager
Phil comes to PAE with a broad range of marine experience. While rowing and sailing in college he found the boats far more interesting than the rowing and sailing and decided boats would be his future. Following graduation Phil began his career in the marine industry in the, then booming, Southern California sailboat industry. After designing and engineering sailboats for several years he moved to spar and rigging design, working on a wide variety of designs including several Americas Cup projects. A number of freelance power boat projects led to a career change; sails were thrown to the wind in favor of throttles. The past fifteen years Phil led the engineering group at Cabo Yachts, a world class manufacturer of sport fishing boats. At Nordhavn Phil's mission is to work with the design engineering team and the project managers to assure the finest, best engineered, and most seaworthy yachts in their class. When not occupied with Nordhavn Phil enjoys surfing and spending time with his wife, son, daughter and dog. Contact Phil at phil.arnold@nordhavn.com.

In 1977 Dan began traveling to the British Virgin Islands where he crewed aboard charter and private yachts. Dan expanded these trips into a crewed charter business by gaining his U.S. Coast Guard License.

Gene Jensen – Material Handler/Driver
Gene is a long-time Dana Point resident and previous owner of Ace Automotive (local auto repair shop). When he joined the P.A.E.
