Amazing Alumni

What I love most about my current job is that I get to be on the water every day and since I am on commission, I can be as busy as I want to be. In Austin the boating industry is huge, and the demand is very high for people like me. This allows me to work as much as I’d like. Seeing different calibers of boats from a 17ft fishing boat to 60 ft yachts to 115 ft houseboats gives me a wide variety of vessels to work on and learn from. This is why I chose this location.
