As a professional mariner with over 35 years of experience, I bring a wealth of expertise and knowledge to the table. My qualifications include a Captain and unlimited Chief Engineer license, as well as being a Master scuba diving instructor, Triton submarine 3300/3 pilot, and repair tech. I have worked on a wide variety of vessels, from private and charter yachts to sailing and corporate ships, as well as commercial vessels.
I am also a dedicated family man, having been happily married for 23 years with two older sons and two dogs in Fort Lauderdale. My extensive experience has equipped me with the skills to manage all aspects of a ship, from its construction to sailing it out to sea. I am adept at working with large crews on big boats and have a deep understanding and respect for the crucial role of the ship's engineer.
My track record speaks for itself, having completed hundreds of successful charters with high levels of repeat business. I pride myself on maintaining a professional and healthy lifestyle, with no tattoos, being a non-smoker, and ready to undergo a drug test at any time. Overall, I believe my experience, qualifications, and dedication make me a valuable asset to any maritime team, and I look forward to the opportunity to contribute my skills and expertise.

I take great pride in my ability to commit to a job for the long run. Over the course of my career, I have worked on four different boats, staying with each for a duration of ten, seven, five, and six years, respectively. My safety-conscious approach has always been a top priority, and I consistently work with the crew to ensure safety drills are up-to-date and in compliance with ISM regulations.
As someone who has always been eager to take on new challenges, I am particularly interested in the opportunity to be involved in a new build. With my extensive experience in maritime operations and project management, I am confident that I can make a valuable contribution to any new build project.
At present, I am actively seeking a position as a Captain for a yacht of 50 meters or more, and I am available for freelance work in Captaincy, Engineering, or Project Management. During my time on my last boat, I served as the pilot and repair technician of their Triton 3300/3 submersible. In this capacity, I logged over 220 dives as the submersible's pilot, with dives reaching depths of up to 3,300 feet. As a PADI Master Scuba Instructor, I have over 7,000 dives under my belt, having explored a diverse range of locations around the world, from the icy waters of Colorado to the Galapagos and beyond.
