I came to Bali as a digital nomad in late 2019.

When the COVID epidemic hit, I decided to stay and make a life here. I have a local company and can legally do business in Indonesia.

I speak Bahasa Indonesia well and have a ton of Indonesian contacts, both here on Bali and across Indonesia. I’m also a former U.S. Navy officer & ocean racer, and have helped more than one stranded boat crew marshal local resources to refit an engine in a remote Indonesian anchorage.

If you’re an English or French speaker in trouble in Indonesia, I can probably help!

Beyond getting you back out to sea, I can help you with:

  • Strategic introductions to help you do business on Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia.

  • Emergency translation to help you navigate the local bureaucracy or explain why you think your starter motor is failing.

  • Company formation to help you establish a legal presence in Indonesia.

  • Deal negotiation to help you get the best price on your engine overhaul or the best terms on your land lease.

  • Land acquisition to help you find and acquire the perfect spot for your new villa or resort.

  • Cultural advice to help you avoid the pitfalls of doing business in a very foreign land.
