I'm an avid sports enthusiast with a diverse background, having grown up in both the US and the UK. Recently departing from the military, I bring professionalism and adaptability to any team. My love for sailing has taken me around the north Atlantic coast, sailing with a 44 ft catamaran from France to Gran Canaria. Beyond the sea, I find joy in sports, particularly football, cycling and running. Whether it’s on the water or a sports field, I thrive in environments that demand teamwork, strategy, and a good sense of humour. My diverse upbringing has instilled in me an appreciation for different cultures, making me adaptable and open-minded. Eager to embark on new challenges, I’m now exploring new opportunities that align with my passion for adventure and teamwork.

Looking ahead, my aspirations involve continued growth within the maritime industry, where I aim to work towards my RYA Day Skipper qualification in the near future and Yachtmaster further on. While I have work experience in a kitchen, I would also like to develop my culinary skills through courses that will expose me to a wider variety of cooking. In the long term I would be interested in a PADI license and in order to be able to explore even more of this world.

With a wealth of experiences that have cultivated competence, adaptability, and resourcefulness, I have driven a wide range of skills—from renovation and car repairs to sustaining self-sufficiency during long outdoor treks. Equally, I derive immense satisfaction from creating solutions, whether they manifest as social cohesion within a team or the tangible resolution of physical challenges.

I am proficient in English and conversational in French and also have a foundational understanding of basic German and Spanish. I have worked as an interpreter in a military and maritime environment and have a formal NATO proficiency qualification in French. From this background as well, I have developed extensive skills in first aid and VHF radio communications.

In my spare time I am usually spending time with my family (usually hiking in the rain) in North Wales, fitting in renovation projects or travelling. But I equally enjoy fishing, which I find deceptively hard, as well as reading and listening to new stories.

Recently completing my Master’s in World Heritage Studies, I am eager to embark on a journey that aligns with my passion for sustainable tourism and a global perspective. This desire stems from my commitment to contributing and meaningfully understanding diverse cultures and ways of life. Motivated by the prospect of pushing my mental and physical boundaries, I see working on a boat as an opportunity for substantial efforts with high rewards. Sailing, with its blend of physics and mathematics, appeals to my analytical nature, and I find gratification in this technical aspect as well as in the tangible outcomes of reaching destinations.

I aspire to enhance my skills holistically, both theoretically and practically, by pursuing RYA courses. Through sailing, I aim to create enriching experiences for others, providing them with memorable times through thoughtful recommendations, a professional attitude, and the curation of unique opportunities. This professional endeavour reflects my dedication to personal growth, cultural exchange, and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles on a global scale.
