Skils
With nearly twenty five of experience, my skills fall in two areas: marine operations and international business. In marine operations, as captain, I have run pocket cruise ships, landing crafts; I’ve worked in ice and transported cargo; I’ve rebuilt engines, and cared for passengers. I can take care of your vessels.
In international business I have focused on sales, business development, strategic planning and account management in the marine, industrial and high tech sector. I have public outreach experience that ranges from government service as an official US Delegate to the International Maritime Organization on issues of ship security and ship tracking; speaking presentations to industry at the Radio Technical Conference Maritime, and organizing local community to understand, support and vote for the creation of a new Port District. I can talk with your customers and represent you as you need.
I would be pleased to talk with you.
