First Officer
I’m a British Second Officer with over ten years of maritime experience, including three years as a deck officer. I live in Godalming, Surrey, with my fiancée Victoria – a picturesque town that featured in the film The Holiday. I grew up locally and have always been drawn to the outdoors, with a lifelong love for animals - especially dogs, who’ve always been a big part of my life. I speak English and enjoy anything adventurous or physically demanding, from hiking and running to getting involved in team fitness on board. I’ve summited Kilimanjaro, completed the UK National Three Peaks Challenge, and I’m always on the lookout for the next adventure. Before working on larger vessels, I spent time as a sailing instructor, which gave me a solid foundation and love for life at sea. I am currently working towards my Master CoC.
