I became determined to pursue a hands-on maritime career when approached by Sussex University Sailing Club to be their sole skipper, chartering a 44ft Sun Odyssey 439 in Greece. Previously employed as a Software Engineer, I developed a strong attention to detail and problem solving skills, backed up by a Master of Mathematics (MMath, distinction).
