Have a U.S. passport, but currently living in Honduras. Have recent verifiable experience and can produce references if desired , I am motivated for short or long trips in and around Central or South America or possibly cross the pacific. Was in the U.S.Marines for 8 years, did 3 years of Medical school, Studied Molecular Biology in University, and most recently worked in Oilfield for Schlumberger and Halliburton as hydraulic frack heavy machine operator and engineer tech. Most of my vehicles have been diesels so I know my way around them. Advanced/2Star Scuba, have a collection of fifteen thousand 1080p movies and shows. I am pretty easy going and can even get along with grumpy people :-) Don't smoke or do drugs. Never been in prison or broken any serious laws, just traffic tickets. I can probably meet anywhere in Central America Including Panama canal or I can also jump on a flight to Miami pretty easy. Hoping to get on a larger boat for longer trips.
