🌟 Inspiritás Resident WOW Moment ⚓ Growing up in Norfolk, VA, Mr. JT’s lifelong love for the sea and ships led him to a career in Mechanical Engineering.
As a NAVSEA contractor, he applied his skills to support and improve naval vessels.
His WOW Moment came during a private guided tour with Sailor Witte at Historic Ships in Baltimore ⚓🏛️—stepping aboard the USS Constellation (1854) the last all-sail warship built by the U.S. Navy 🇺🇸 — and seeing firsthand the craftsmanship and innovation that continue to inspire his passion for maritime engineering!
