I joined the USCG in 1978 and was sent to the Presidential Honor Guard. In 1981, I transferred to Cape Cod Canal Station where I qualified on the 41' UTB and the 44' MLB as coxswain. I learned a great deal about operating in current, heavy weather, and how to tow.

1987: USCG Station Menemsha, Martha's Vineyard Ma
1991: USCGC Towline, Bristol RI
1994: USCGC Bittersweet, Woods Hole MA

1998: Retired from the U.S.C.G. and grabbed my 100-ton Master Ocean Operator's License on my way out and have remained current for the past 25 years.
Currently, I am a Deputy for our local Sheriff's Office, and my post assignment is as a boat Captain in our Marine Unit. I operate a 31' Safe Boat which is a fast response unit to an active shooter aboard one of the multiple ferries that operate in Vineyard Sound and Nantucket Sound.
