I was raised in a hard working, blue collar family. My grandfather, father, and 3 uncles EACH spent over 40 years at sea as Chief Engineers on container ships, and all have instilled the values of hard work, constantly learning new things, taking pride in your work, and going above and beyond what is asked of you. I always look forward to rolling up my sleeves and getting to work, no matter what the task in front of me may be.
