About me
I’m a career-driven deckhand with a deep-rooted connection to the ocean and a clear focus on progressing within the yachting industry. With a background as a strong swimmer and hands-on deck experience, I’ve built a solid foundation on the water and below the surface. I’m a qualified Dive Technician, actively working toward my Dive Master certification, and bring particular value to vessels with established or growing dive programs. I take pride in being dependable, technically minded, and eager to learn whether that’s refining deck operations, supporting dive activities, or stepping up wherever the crew needs strength. I bring proven longevity, having spent over 18 months on each of my last two vessels, demonstrating commitment and a long-term mindset. I maintain a strong focus on physical strength, which allows me to comfortably and safely handle the demanding physical requirements of deck work. I’m motivated by high standards, teamwork, and continuous improvement, and I approach every role with the intention of becoming more capable, more versatile, and more valuable over time. I’m now looking for my next position with a professional, high-performing crew where I can contribute meaningfully, take on greater responsibility, and continue developing as a well-rounded deck and dive professional.
