Sündisin 1980 Türil. Üldhariduse omandasin Türi Majandusgümnaasiumis ja merehariduse Eesti Mereakadeemias.
 
Meresõidu kogemuse omandasin seoses tööga eritööde laevadel paljudes erinäolistest projektides üle maailma, kokku ligikaudu 15 aastat, millest viimased kolm aastat kapteni rollis.
 
Aastal 2012 viis töö merel Tschudi Ship Management'i esmalt laevade ja ettevõtte ohutuse ja keskkonna valdkonna eest hea seisma ning tänaseks päevaks laevade majandamise igapäeva nüansse koordineerima.
 
Tschudi Ship Management'is töötades on mul olnud võimalus opereerida laevu ja koordineerida töid rohkem kui viiekümnes erinevas projektis, millest enamus on meretuuleparkide rajamise ja hooldusega seotud aga ka muud eritööd, mis on seotud üldisemate ehitustöödega merel, nende hulgas ka nafta ja gaasi väljadega.
 
Oma teadmisi ja omandatud kogemusi proovin rakendada parimal võimalikul viisil läbi oma igapäevatöö selleks, et valdkonna toimimist viia võimalikult efektiivseks nii keskkonna, ohutuse kui ka majandamise osas.
