I come from humble beginnings, and I can only say that since day one of my life, I have faced various challenges. Some people might think it’s tough to always have obstacles in their way, but for me, it’s not. I love a challenge! I enjoy starting from zero and creating new chapters in my life. Looking back and seeing what I have achieved is a gift. I have come so far and reached a place that I never thought I would be in today. Life is good! Bring it ON!
I am an engineer with a passion for sports and fitness. Before yachting, I was a Fitness Coach training clients at the gym and also organising activities outdoors, creating experiences that most of them would never think about experiencing before. Truly rewarding on making a difference and changing those peoples lives for the best.
When I moved to this industry for more than 5 years, I can easily say that it has been one of the best decisions in my life. I enjoy being in the ocean, being in contact with nature outdoors, and entertaining guests. The industry taught me that ensuring the safety and well-being of the owners, guests, and crew is the key point of my job and I focus 100% on making this happen. I often get asked about, from the people I meet, about the industry. Obviously they find this lifestyle fascinating and want to know more about it. I enjoy sharing all the information and knowledge that I have, and motivating, helping people who want to be part of it.
Being nominated for and winning the Award of Best Engineer & ETO 2022 was fantastic and unexpected. I am so grateful to everyone who made this possible. The following years, receiving an invitation to be a judge in the Acrew 2023 awards was also a true honour. And now, being nominated for the Engineer & ETO award in 2024, so unexpectedly, and feels out of this world. I guess I am doing something right and good out there, folks.
It will be a pleasure to be part of this amazing event again this year. The number of people involved and working hard to make this possible, every year, is truly incredible. It shows how passionate the people working in this industry are.
Thank you, ACREW, and all the partners and sponsors for making this possible! I look forward to it!
