Born and raised into a military family my residency changed quite frequently, from Annapolis, Maryland to Paris, France, Camp Pendleton, CA, Cherry Point, NC, Quantico, VA and back to Annapolis, Maryland.I established my first marine service business in 1981 which was located at Bert Jabin Yacht Yard. I then moved onto a new marine business venture in 1991 opening "Diversified Marine Services Inc. and Annapolis Diving Contractors". As of early 2009, "Annapolis Diving Contractors" was sold to focus on the growth and development of Diversified Marine Services, Inc.As of January 2016 Diversified Marine Services, Inc. was listed for sale and was successfully sold in January 2017 after interviewing a number of qualified parties. Diversified Marine Services, Inc. is on target to remain a "Top shelf" service provider in the Annapolis - Chesapeake Bay market by the addition of qualified marine technicians, state of the art tooling, education / training and a "team" concept of management.Private equity investorBusiness acquisition and developmentStrategic planningFinancial managementLeadershipAccount payable / receivableHuman resourcesClient relationships Gorilla MarketingSalesReal estate acquisitionProperty renovation & management
