My background is as a merchant mariner on yachts, fast-supply vessels, z-drive riverboats, small anchor tugs/oil-spill response vessels, rescue boats, and schooners.

I have my USCG 100-Ton Master's ticket, Able Seaman endorsement, ASA 101-103 certifications (soon to include 106/107), a Merchant Mariner's Credential, TWIC card, STCW '95-Basic Safety Training w/VPDSD, Red Cross Small Craft Rescue, National Registry EMT certification, as well as being a PADI advanced open-water diver and a Wilderness First Responder. I also enjoy mountaineering and rock-climbing. I have a bachelor's degree in neuroscience and worked as a chemist once upon a time.

Eventually I want to be a live-aboard cruiser and sail around the globe climbing mountains along the way.
