About

Driven and genuinely passionate about life at sea, I'm excited to begin my career in the yachting industry in the deck-department. I've spent many years game fishing and scuba diving, and have developed a strong connection to the ocean through hands-on experience. I have surf launching experience on boats up to 9 meters, which has taught me to stay calm under pressure and handle vessels in dynamic conditions. I'm eager to learn from experienced crew, contribute to a positive team environment, and grow within the private and charter yacht industry with a strong work ethic and can-do attitude.
