A calm sea never made a skilled mariner

I am a retired Lieutenant of the New York City Fire Department's Marine Division. During my 34-year tenure with the FDNY I worked at structural firefighting in some of the busiest areas of New York City. In my last ten years I also acted in the capacity of Training Officer for the FDNY Marine Division. I held a US Coast Guard License as a Ships Master and I've been certified as a Fire instructor both within New York State and Nationally. I am currently a participating member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) Fishing Vessel Operations and Safety panel and also their Small Working Vessel Operations and Safety panel. I am also a Principal Member of the NFPA Technical Committee on Merchant Vessels. My articles on Marine Firefighting have been published both nationally and internationally.
