Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Hello,
I am thrilled to connect with you and share my passion for sailing and maritime leadership.

Throughout my decades-long journey at sea, I've come to embrace every twist and turn, recognizing them as opportunities for growth, resilience, and most importantly, having fun.

Now, I'm seeking a new challenge—a position that allows me to utilize my leadership skills, maritime expertise, and unwavering commitment to improvement.
I thrive on asking the question: How can we make this better? This mindset has driven me to become a trusted choice for any voyage. With a deep-rooted commitment to safety, meticulous attention to detail, and the ability to navigate unexpected situations with ease, I ensure a seamless and unforgettable experience for you and your guests, whether it's an adventurous expedition or a relaxing getaway.

My journeys' has equipped me with a diverse skill set—I'm not just a sailor; I'm an experienced caretaker, adept at engine maintenance, painting, detailing, repairs, and rebuilds. I'm also well-versed in setting up and configuring navigation electronics, ensuring smooth sailing in any condition.

Moreover, I have a strong crew network comprising associates, friends, and family with diverse backgrounds, ready to spring into action whenever needed.

My motto is simple: Always be learning.
I firmly believe that education does not cost—it pays dividends in the form of expertise and preparedness.
if it floats, I can sail it;
if it breaks, I will fix it.
And when the seas get rough, rest assured, I will do whatever it takes to keep the ship and everyone on board safe.

I'm excited about the possibility of bringing my skills and passion to your voyage.

Lets talk to see if there is a fit.
John
