The longest passage I have done is from Kauai to Seattle and am excited for more! I am looking to be a part of a crew that works to stay on the sides of positive and respectful even on the hard days. I prefer and appreciate clear and direct communication. I am strong, adaptable, learn things quickly and am I enjoy working hard to get things done. I also appreciate when it is time to relax and soak in my surroundings. I travel extensively. I have worked in various locations in Antarctica and Greenland over the past 10 years, as a science technician, carpenter and mechanic. In these NSF Polar Programs I have lived and worked in remote locations of 3-5 people for time periods of 2 weeks to 3 months... Please feel free to ask me many questions! | |
