Sea Year Part 2 (USMMA)

This is the second part to my sea year story, the story of being a cadet on a merchant vessel that travels the high seas. Born and raised in the mountains of Colorado, I never fully appreciated the sea and how beautiful it truly is. However, being a cadet on a merchant vessel has allowed me to realize this, exposing me to the sea's omniscient nature and its ability to inspire any soul. I hope this depiction of the sea through my eyes will inspire you too.
Thank you to all that have supported me while I have been on this journey, a journey that has been very foreign to me since the beginning, I never could have made this journey without you all. I also want to thank USMMA and the great Kings Point Alumni that have provided me guidance through the years. The opportunities that have been granted to me as a midshipman have been tenfold, experiences others could only ever dream of, and I never would have been able to experience this journey without your direction.

Thank you very much! Was a great learning experience on the ship to not only learn how to be a mate, but to also educate myself more on filming
