Summary
I have a lot of experience working on boats. As a natural resource specialist with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, I operated small boats while performing maintenance on regulatory buoys and channel markers. I also conducted vessel safety inspections and towed stranded vessels. While serving in the United States Coast Guard, I worked as a shipboard firefighter and diesel engine mechanic aboard the United States Coast Guard Cutter Tampa where I sailed over thirty thousand nautical miles. I completed small boat operation training while working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and possess boater education training certificates in both Mississippi and Hawaii.
