Summary

I am a 21 year old male that grew up in westminster maryland. I moved to palm beach florida in 2021 for family reasons and pursued the career of a Marine Technician. I went to a year and a half marine technician trade school at palm beach state college in lake worth, I graduated with an ABYC entry level technician certification and went straight to work for reel candy sportfishing as the engineer technician. Involving myself and leading in a couple 6-71 inframe overhauls as I learned to do in school as well as a generator repower.

Then I took a job at mikes marine service in palm beach florida where I learned to work on a variety of marine engines and generators. While I was working for them I pursued my ABYC marine diesel technician certification (professional level). A year and a half after working for mikes marine I got a better job offer at Nordhavn yachts as a marine service technician completing the same engine services as well as some plumbing, electrical and unloading our boats from the port in ft lauderdale florida and delivering them up the cost to palm beach florida where we commissioned and serviced our boats.

Due to a few personal reasons I have decided to move back to maryland and am looking to continue to pursue my career as a marine service technician.
