• I'm passionate about maritime SAR, having various ways I can contribute: as boat crew, small-boat operator, radio/dispatch, training dev., instructing, grant writing, website work, data/knowledge modeling, writing manuals & study guides.
  
  I've told SAR colleagues: Like a keeper of a lighthouse who lives at his station, so I would at a rescue boat station. I'd study charts each day, housekeep the station, maintain the boat(s) and gear, and answer calls for the team. That is what I want to do in any capacity with this life. We have one life to live, and I want to spend it training and being available to serve on or around rescue boats. I need someone or some org. to realize my potential, help me improve myself, train and focus my service interest and creativity.
  
  
• Training experiences on various types of rescue boat, so I'm familiar with the vessels, PPE, management, good & bad leadership practices, training schemes, and the boats of different SAR groups, globally.
