01 About me
About me
Life aboard flows
like water in a river.
I come from Slovakia. I have been closely connected to ships since childhood. I have worked aboard ships since I was 18. I started as a deckhand and helmsman — where you learn to understand a vessel from the ground up.
I have regularly trained in vessel handling since 2012. I began completing my captain’s patents in 2013, later adding the Rhine patent A and the Swiss Hochrhein patent. Since 2015–2016, I have worked full-time as a captain. I bring 22 years of work on vessels and 15 years of experience aboard inland tanker vessels.
