My extensive experience as a Manager - Project Manager for the construction

of new builds and refits of private luxury yachts and commercial vessels,

as well as being an Accredited Marine Surveyor, will translate into

virtually any position that requires meticulous project management or

general management as outlined below. My background also includes being

contracted to reorganize problematic projects that were over budget and/or

behind schedule. Projects that I have managed range from budgets of $

50,000 to over $ 80,000,000 with 10-150 employees and sub contractors.

These projects required not only an extensive technical & engineering

background, but also involved extensive analyzing, organization &

communication, problem solving under tight deadlines, firing & hiring of

managers and department heads, negotiating with multiple international

contractors, sub contractors, and vendors, reviewing and re-negotiating pre-

existing contracts, and revising budgets and schedules. These projects are

also built to Class. In between projects I return to marine surveying as

an Accredited Marine Surveyor - SAMS -Society of Accredited Marine

Surveyors for Super Yachts and Ships -commercial and private use for; pre-

purchase, claims, Insurance, deck cargo and or consulting.

I began my marine career at age 17, as an officer in the British Merchant

Navy. Thereafter, I transitioned into private luxury yachts and worked

internationally as a Project Manager & Marine Surveyor, from the

Mediterranean to the Caribbean, Japan, South America, The Middle East, and

the U.S.A .

I reside in Los Angeles, California and hold both U.S and Irish

citizenship. I am willing to acquire any additional skills necessary for

available positions. Willing to relocate.
