Summary
I have had the honor of being taught a lot if great things by some great people,i now want to pass great knowledge one has onto others as it was done to me and teach and learn from all tow boaters i can. I have assisted in starting a tanker men division at a smaller company and enjoy teaching others to becoming tanker men with the knowledge i have as well as i do with being a wheelman. I do my best to go above and beyond for the company with doing my part and as much i can with keeping the boat audit ready and in tip top condition at all times. Myself and others growth is one of the most important things. As I grow everyday and learn from great leaders, I would be grateful to have the opportunity to be party of the great leaderships and tech others. I am also willing to relocate if i needed to for this opportunity.
