Professional Summary
Over 40 years as a professional in the marine industry, with experience in all aspects, from ordinary seaman, to owner of a small transportation firm to a 20 year veteran as an Alaska ships pilot.
I maintain professional conduct and I am confident with other marine professionals concerning on-board issues from pilot house to engine room. My professional skills are numerous and above reproach, however I maintain a willingness and eagerness to learn new skills and accept new responsibilities.
