Experience

Schooner Excursions
May 2014 - Aug 2016Crew / First MateMaintained, and helped sail the historic John Alden 1926 Schooner "True Love". From the hull work to the top of the masts I was everywhere on the vessel to ensure that she was always well maintained and beautiful. On a regular basis I would be crew, which entailed setting sails, line adjustments, on the helm and talking with guests about the vessel and the area for 3-4 trips a day. After 3 seasons of working 5+ days a week, my public speaking and communication skills are well developed.

- Awarded to Matt GillBest Hardware Hack HackBU Feb 2015 Won best Hardware Hack at HackBU hackathon with my teammates from Enhance VR for building a majority of our first motion simulator prototype. For 24 hours, we planned, designed, built and of course "hacked" PVC, 2x4's, wiper motors, and computer PSU's into the foundation of our 2 degree of freedom motion simulator with only a power drill, hand saw, and one C-clamp.
