Personal Details
Career Objective
To get a permanent position as a deckhand and build a successful long-term career in the yachting industry.
Hobbies & Interests
I'm a passionate cyclist who has logged over 1,000 miles so far this year, though I'm pretty sure the Tour de France champs would be politely amused at my pace! I've conquered a 110-mile ride--and numerous other long-distance routes--each rigorously testing my endurance and sharpening my focus. My multi-day wild camps in the mountains have taught me that getting lost in nature is just part of the adventure. My creativity shines through photography and cooking for loved ones, and I'm unashamedly obsessed with Formula One! I have a strong affinity for cars and music, and fostering a positive mindset comes naturally to me. As a proud Northern lad, I bring the steadfast work ethic of Yorkshire weather and a touch of cheeky humour to every role.
