Graduating from Unitec Auckland, New Zealand with a Certificate in Boatbuilding and a Diploma in Applied Technology in Marine I was immediately recruited by McMullen & Wing as their junior design engineer. My fondness of the ocean coupled with the ever-expanding engineering technology within the marine industry sparked my interest in developing this into a career. With seven years’ experience in composite Boatbuilding, Engineering and Computer aided design, combined with my practical hands-on sailing experience throughout multiple countries made me an ideal candidate to embark on a career with in the Superyacht crewing Industry. I have since held Chief and Sole engineer roles on both motor and sailing vessels throughout New Zealand & Australia, South East Asia, the Pacific, Caribbean and the Mediterranean spanning Twelve years, four Atlantic crossings and over 30,000NM. I currently hold my Y4 certificate and are working towards my Y2 3000kW small vessel engineering certification. I now serve in the capacity of Chief engineer on a private motor yacht based on the Island of Mallorca, Spain.
