About

Currently I’m a Chief Stew on a heavily chartered 35 meter in Florida and Bahamas with a second and third stew. I manage all vessel interior needs as well as entire crew needs. I provision, inventory, set the highest standards of everything in housekeeping, laundry, guest service, table decor and theme nights, and very involved with the chef on plating and menus for cohesiveness. I’ve also been a solo Deck/Stew many times and well versed with all deck duties. I am a very well rounded seafarer and team player. I come with no ego or drama and looking for my perfect team with a worldwide program. I’m also willing to step down in title and position for the right fit and earn crew respect.

Career Objective

I just wish to find a larger vessel and tightly knit crew where we can all rely on each other and become a family. As a chief stew, my work ethic has no limitations and I’m always helping others and wanting to learn more. I strive to teach, coach, mentor, all while learning and growing along the way and even be a therapist to crew in their time of need.
