Summary
Proven leader and quick learner, with over a decade in our industry I'm adept in operational efficiency and problem resolution. I have been a master of all types of vessels on the St Marys River system. From 150ft car ferry to75ft passenger ferry. My main form of employment has been operating the pilot boat on both ends of our river system. At St Marys Marine Services, I ensured safe voyages and maintained high standards of vessel operation, leveraging skills in mechanical engines and CPR/first aid. Demonstrated commitment to safety and excellence, significantly enhancing passenger satisfaction and vessel performance.
