Personal Information: My Name is Paul Michael Irvin. I reside in Houston, at 1714 Reseda Dr. Houston, TX. 77062. My primary contact number is: (713) 304-0599. I’m married and have Three Children. I attended School and grew up in Southern California. I have been working in the Marine Environment since 1977 to Present. I started with the US Navy up until 1992 and then private employers and government employers as well. I’m well-traveled both ashore and at sea. Primary Sea Experience is in the Indian and Pacific Ocean Regions as well as the Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea. I’ve recently moved to Texas and currently work for Crosby Tugs, LLC out of Golden Meadow, La.
I do not have a College Degree; but am a capable and fast, self- learning/starter. I have excellent evaluations and references for many of my boat/ship board experiences. I obtained my USCG licenses on my own efforts and paid my own cost, never burdening my employer’s with my personal goals.
I have a diversified back ground, but keep in mind I’ve stayed true to the industry all my adult life. I’ve worked in intense office environments; my most challenging was that as Minor Plant Custodian for the Construction of the US Navy’s Homeport Project in Everett, WA. It was my task to preform and track the necessary equipment and work progress reports between Contractors and the Customer, in this case the US Navy. I’ve also worked as an Operations Manager for a Tug & Crew Boat Company in Saipan, CNMI. I co-wrote from scratch the ISM/Vessel Safety Management requirements/MOU for port Security in Saipan and Tinian Islands for Tinian Shipping & Transportation, Co. And Sailed as Master on their Two HSC (High Speed Craft) 140 Passenger Ferries.
I am interested in a Shore Base Career for my personal goal to continue in the Maritime Industry. I present my List of Employment on the next page, in hopes of becoming a valued asset/employee of your Company.
Very Respectfully;
Paul Michael Irvin
