SUMMARY

ENGINESURVEYOR.COM was created from on-the-job experience, self-education, factory training, backed

up by Certifications and Accreditations. As an accomplished surveyor, the success of

ENGINESURVEYOR.COM has come from boat brokers, law firms and insurance companies repeat business

and thru private owners word of mouth referrals.

I believe that my long-term experience -- working with marine diesel engines and being an accomplished

mechanic -- and being respected by my fellow tradesmen, and accepted by court judges, affords me the

opportunity to be called an expert in this field.
