Personal Profile
Coming from a family of engineers I have always been involved with mechanical and electrical systems, taking apart putting back together anything and every thing, from motorcycle engines to water purification systems. I have a strong work ethic, believe in a professional attitude and I like to do a job properly. I really enjoy working with people as part of a team but I am happy to go off and get a job done on my own. Although new to the industry I am looking forward with excitement to continuing my engineering interest professionally in a marine environment.
