Hans has developed a deep connection to the ocean and the places it has taken him.

That connection has made ocean conservation a natural extension of his life as a sailor and is what drives his commitment to protecting the places where he plays.

Welcome to #TeamOcean, Hans! 🌊⛵️🌊

@oceanconservancy.orgSep 28, 2026, 8:25 PM

Today, Hans competes with the U.S. SailGP Team in the Rolex SailGP Championship and American Racing Challenge Team USA in the America’s Cup. He draws on his sailing and engineering backgrounds while racing some of the fastest foiling boats in the world.

Hailing from San Clemente, California, Hans is an Olympic medalist and professional sailor. He began sailing at six years old and has since established himself as one of the most talented and innovative sailors of his generation.

Take action TODAY for #WorldMaritimeDay. We still have time to defend these lifesaving protections, but we need to act fast.

Add your name and tell your senators to defend our ocean and our air: takeaction.oceanconservancy.org/page/200276/...

The numbers show just what’s at stake. Recent updates to the rules are projected to: ⛴️ Cut cancer risk near major ports by 55%+ ⛴️ Reduce cancer-causing pollution by 89% ⛴️ Save $7+ billion in health care costs

Right now, lawmakers want to roll back two California Clean Air Act waivers that protect our ocean and port communities around the country from toxic shipping fumes.

We’re calling on the Senate to say NO to these rollbacks. takeaction.oceanconservancy.org/page/200276/...

@oceanconservancy.orgSep 24, 2026, 6:09 PM

This #WorldMaritimeDay, you can help advocate for safer, cleaner shipping. 🚢

The truth is, no matter where we live across the country, most of us rely on global shipping for everyday products. And while shipping plays a large role in the U.S. economy, it also exacerbates climate change. ⚠️

Ingested plastics have been found in nearly 1,300 marine species, including all families of seabirds and marine mammals and all sea turtle species.

But how much plastic is TOO much? How much is really deadly to marine wildlife?

He is also a devoted husband and father of three young children. He described his commitment to environmental conservation beautifully: “I do not want to just tell my children that I cared about these things. I want them to be able to look back and say that I actually did something about them.”
