About
Quite possibly one of the youngest old-school engineers around. Commercially trained, I've spent the last 20+ years fiddling with things and making them work (mostly succesful). I can fix, maintain and operate just about anything found on a ship or yacht. Welding, fitting, turning, engine whispering, polishing bilges, swearing at stuck bolts, avoiding electrocution while trying not to let the smoke out, persuading upset electronics to behave as intended - you name it I can more than likely turn my hand to it. Firm believer that everyone on board is important; always happy to muck in where needed whether it’s tender ops or helping the interior out during busy service.
