Captains Log:
I have worked as a shipwright in ports across North America from the West Coast to the East Coast, captaining the fireboat MOKU AHI. Working with first responders and public safety agents across the country to make it safer for everyone.
Now I call the waters of the Pacific Northwest my home and am committed to connecting communities, industries, and governments to build a future for our legacy.
Working tirelessly to bring Maritime education and connection programs with schools that lead to high-paying, honest-to-God jobs for future generations. Done by using funding from government programs established through the HB1167, the Maritime Career Task Force (MCTF).
