About me
With a childhood spent in the coastal city of Cape Town, I have been fortunate to grow up surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. My love for the ocean has shaped my life, immersing me in sailing, diving, fishing, spearfishing, and surfing. My passion for the ocean led me to own and captain vessels to fuel these interests. Professionally, my experience spans across multiple vessels in guest and shipyard environments. I have worked as a deckhand/mate, carpenter and fishing charter specialist. I have an in-depth understanding of the intricacies involved in running a deck department and am ready to hit the ground running. I am also adept in maintenance and fabrication projects, with extensive product knowledge. I approach the industry with professionalism, striving to progress and excel. I believe that my skills and dedication would be an invaluable addition to your crew, and I look forward to the opportunity to demonstrate my worth.
