Objective
I seek employment as a Chief Mate on an unlimited tonnage DP vessel, Master on a limited tonnage DP vessel, towing vessel, or a supervisory position on lift-boats, lay-barges, or other floating oilfield installations.
Experience
Most recently, I served as a Chief Mate on the Westpac Express, a 310’ high speed passenger vessel on charter with Military Sealift Command in Okinawa, Japan.
For a year and a half before that, I worked as a Sr. DPO with Transocean Drilling aboard a DP-3 semi-submersible, the Deepwater Horizon. I come with high recommendations from both vessels…and many others. Before serving aboard the Deepwater Horizon, I worked on both DP-2 and DP-1 vessels. I served for a year and a half as a master with Laborde Marine on their 210' DP Supply vessel, the Red Lab. I will gladly forward copies of appropriate licenses, certifications, and recommendations from these employers upon request.
