I suppose that a bit of an introduction is in order. My name is Nate. I'm a father, husband, mariner, mechanical nerd, and reader. I am a believer in Christ, though my faith is a bit of a work in progress... I served 6 years in the Navy as an engineer onboard 2 ships and have been working in the offshore oil field as a supply vessel engineer for over 13 years.

I love anything maritime related, metal working related, and old machinery related, the older the better... but my real passion is in teaching those that want to learn about these same things as well as learning about those topics as well as others.

I decided that I wanted to try my hand at writing in order to share my aforementioned loves with those that have the same interests or, are at the very least, curious about these things.

If you’re interested in these topics or are just looking for a change from all of the political garbage out there then please follow along as I grow through this attempt at being a writer. Hope you have a blessed day.

Fair Winds and Following Seas,

Nate
