I am a mariner, writer, and entrepreneur with a passion for sustainable innovation in maritime transportation. With over a decade of experience working at sea, I hold an Unlimited Master Mariner’s License and have commanded vessels across diverse routes worldwide. These experiences have given me firsthand insight into the challenges facing global shipping and the immense potential for transformation through sustainable technology.As the Founder of Dolphin Smart Ships, I am committed to building a new generation of vessels powered by renewable energy. By combining AI-optimized routing with advanced wind and solar propulsion systems, our ships aim to redefine efficiency and decarbonize maritime trade.In addition to my professional endeavors, I mentor and teach cadets at California Maritime Academy, helping them explore the future of maritime innovation and preparing them to lead the next wave of change in the industry. I am also the author of a middle-grade adventure novel, currently seeking publication, inspired by my time at sea.My ultimate vision is to establish a sustainable shipyard in the Bay Area, creating a hub for zero-carbon vessel design and collaboration between industry, academia, and policymakers.
