Following High School I became an Aircraft Engineer apprentice. After 5 years as an apprentice I qualified but wished to see the world so I retrained as a Marine Engineer.
I am now a Chief Engineer with 12 years in the field.
I enjoy my current job but I am very interested in finding that adventure spark that can only be gained from working on international vessels again.
