I attended the Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland, receiving my Diploma of Maritime Studies in 2002. During my initial year I was the recipient of the Captain Morgan’s award for academic performance.

The plan for the future, once my Masters ticket is obtained, is to continue my education with the University & obtain a Bachelors Degree in Maritime Studies.

The Marine Institute has also rolled out a Masters degree program for those that have completed the bachelors degree.  This offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to spin off into the business side of the marine industry & is a path that I will consider down the line.

I currently hold the following up to date certifications.  STCW ’95 where applicable:

• Chief Mate, Unlimited / Master, Local Voyage
• GMDSS Radio Operator
• Panamanian Endorsements for stcw ’95 licence & radio certificate
• Vanuatu Endorsements for stcw ’95 licence & radio certificate
• Valid Marine Medical
• Marine Advanced First Aid
• Tanker Endorsement
• MED A1, B1, B2, C & D

Additionally I hold the following Offshore Specific certifications:

• Unlimited Dynamic Positioning Operators Certificate
• BOSIET
