Currently working on a contract basis with Tocaro Blue in a technical support and installation format. With Pensacola Sailing Academy as a sailing instructor and charter Capt. Also with At The Helm Training as an instructor for power boating. Freelance as a Captain for private vessels doing charter, sea trials, relocation, etc... With an eclectic work history, the collection of skill obtained from each industry has given me a well-rounded view of most business models and customer goals. The various careers and locations have allowed me to develop a multitude of skills to draw upon. My core competencies are in the vessel handling, mechanical/technical maintenance and development, training and instructional areas. I enjoy working as a yacht captain and enjoy being on the water. I am very comfortable operating both power and sailing vessels. My experience on vessels range from 7 to 25 meters with a passenger compliment up to 125 people ( per vessel configuration and tonnage). I have trained others on basic boat handling to complex navigation and have several tricks to eliminate bad habits some have gained from being self taught. Working as a maritime captain may cause most in non-maritime fields to fore go discussions of possible opportunities. However, if you take into consideration what is required in the operation of a maritime vessel, being in command, one is responsible for the vessels safety and operations (simply facilities - without the possibility of sinking).,the management of personnel, including scheduling, training, evaluation, etc. Attention to the customers wants, needs and expectations of the experience they are paying for. In simple terms, a captain operates as CEO, facilities manager, safety manager, HR, and customer service representative (and sometimes entertainer) simultaneously. My preference is to continue working in the yachting/maritime field, but my skills are transferable to most every field and I am open to discuss various future opportunities.
