I learn very quickly am a hard worker and get the job done.I signed on with Edison Chouest to work on a fast off shore supply boat,but when the found out I was a highly qualified chef they immediately put me on an oil exploration vessel headed to Trinidad.Within days I worked my way onto the deck because the regular deckhand was lazy.I do not want to be a cook I want to work deck or on a supply vessel.That is my goal and to get the required seatime and upgrade to ABS.I walked away from the sea several years ago and jumped from this job to that.Now I am in Hollywood chasing a dream in the acting world.I miss the sea and want to hire on with a good company who is looking for an honest loyal,hardworking no bones about it man.Non drinker,non smoker no Drugs.Give me a chance you won't be sorry.I can furnish excellent references.
