About
Growing up in Torcross, Devon, UK, I was surrounded by boats and water-based activities from a young age. This led me to acquire a broad range of skills on and off the ocean in the years I spent on the water in and around Salcombe, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. Having a passion for engineering as well as the trades, I spent three years in industry, including 12 months as a trainee electrician and a short period as a data engineer. This gave me skills and experience which I bring into the maritime sector. I ensure jobs are done efficiently and to the highest standards possible. I have great people skills and will always pull my weight when it comes to working, either individually or as part of a team.

In regards to a yacht I would like to work in a department that is also busy and prides itself on keeping a high standard of work through a quality maintenance system. I am looking for medium to larger size yachts or support vessels either private or charter operating anywhere in the world. I would like a rotational position with the possibility to climb the ranks with support from the department/vessel.
