Accomplishments

I have been able to learn and adapt to many skills and environments using common sense and hard work . I'm mostly self taught and have acquired many skills from working with professional tradesmen and being very observant . Traveling in the United States and overseas has given me experiences that are not taught in schools . Being self employed most of my life I have learned a lot that you wouldn't have learned as a employee . While living in Alaska I gained a lot of experience from repairing equipment in extreme conditions to guiding people in remote wilderness . Running a research boat and operating a remote lodge has given me a lot of experience in logistics , marketing and customer service .

Interests

I have always enjoyed the wilderness and the ocean that's what had drawn me to Alaska Traveling has been a passion of mine I grew up in a military family and we lived over seas Since then I have been to most european countries and several African countries I'm a big foodie and enjoy cooking I did all the cooking on my research boat
