About

Diver.
Bomb technician.
Pharmacist.

Since 2019 I have been a Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, first based in Spain and working across Europe, and since 2023 on Guam in the Pacific. I plan and supervise diving operations, work with explosives, and lead small teams in the field. I am a PADI Divemaster and a PADI Freediver, and I worked as a pharmacist before I enlisted.

I leave the service in April 2027. I am looking for work that is outdoors and in the water, planned and led for other people: adventure and expedition operations, dive and boat programs, remote sites where one person has to own both the safety plan and the medical plan. I will relocate for the right operation.
