Find Marine Surveyor Pros in Steuben

The experience that I bring to each survey is founded upon over a decade working in the maritime industry. My early years focused around small sailboat racing along the craggy coastline of Casco Bay and Harpswell Maine. This exposure to sailing led into experiences as a youth sailing program director, marina work, and volunteer work restoring a 67 foot historic wooden fishing vessel for a maritime museum.

Post undergraduate studies, I found myself working aboard various charter vessels. I served as engineer for six straight months aboard 90 foot ice class expedition trawler from the Gulf of Maine to 500 nautical miles North of the Arctic Circle to Uppernavik, Greenland. That time fostered accelerated learning in diesel mechanics, marine systems, and seamanship. I continued working with charter and tour boats in Portland Maine before transitioning to become a Merchant Marine working for a family run tugboat company based out of Belfast Maine

Working on tugboats for the last nine years has brought many insights and experience into deck safety, fire fighting/prevention, diesel engineering, tankage, and other marine systems. My time aboard commercial vessels has produced a critical eye for safety and detail oriented diagnostics for potential systems' failures before they cause threat to ship, crew, and environment.

In January of 2020 I made new use of the broad spectrum of experiences I have had working on the water and completed the Marine Surveying course at the Landing School, in Arundel, Maine. My practical know how, diverse experience, and fastidious nature are found to be well suited to marine surveying. Within the course curriculum I achieved the ABYC Marine Systems certification.

In the winter of 2021 I was accepted as a Surveyor Associate with the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS). I am committed to continue furthering my knowledge, training, and updating my diagnostic equipment to provide the optimum insight into a vessel for my clients. Fall of 2024 I applied, tested, and upgraded my membership as a Accredited Marine Surveyor® with SAMS®.
