I served in the U.S. Coast Guard and attended ET (Electronics Technician) School 40+ years ago. Back then I was installing Radars, Single Side band radios, VHF Radios and Loran Systems. Today it's all about electronics with boating. Sophisticated multi functional systems, chart plotters that control everything from your Autopilot to your sound system. MFD's that operate everything and can even display your television. I hold certifications with every marine electronic's manufacturer that offers certifications.
As the years passed, my background as an electrician played a bigger factor in our work. In 2004 I studied and passed my ABYC Certified Electrician course. From there on, it's electronics and electricity in boats. My time in the Coast Guard embedded in me a safety first philosophy that I maintain with every boat I work on. What separates me from the competition is my excessive compulsive personality when it comes to loose ends.
