With formal education at a prestigious maritime academy, and four-plus years in the offshore energy industry, I believe I am well positioned as an asset to a company seeking another member for their bridge team.

I've worked in the Gulf of Mexico with both small companies operating from DP-1, split rudder, direct-drive vessels and world-wide companies operating some of the largest platform supply vessels available today utilizing the most modern equipment including double redundency Dynamic Positioning systems linked to azimuthing thrusters.

I've been working as mate on PSVs (Tidewater's PSV-480, trhe Ken C Tamblyn), MSVs (Surf SubSea's "Surf Challenger") and as chief mate on derrick barges (J. Ray McDermott's DB-16.) Each of these vessels have offered me opportunities to better understand the Kongsberg dynamic positioning (DP) systems in various environemntal conditions and working environments. My experience includes platform and drill-ship supply, ROV assist, Pipe-lay operations, survey underway re-supply, maneuvering in tight quesrter (such as Port Fourchon and Cameron), etc.
