  • May 1997 - Feb 2002

  Don Morton provided me with an opportunity when first starting out in the real world, an apprentiship which lead to me working in the Marine Industry on all types of craft, big and small. The exposure to mechanics and diagnostics still serve me well today, reflecting every now and then on something I learnt so many years ago. Now I find myself passing that knowledge on to others again in the hope, one day it may lead to solid foundations in their own careers.
