Meet the Crew

Harrison was born in Amarillo, TX and grew up in Searcy, AR. Upon graduating from Harding University with a double major in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, he moved to Denver, CO where he started working for Apple. After working there for 5 years, Harrison sold all his belongings and took a one-way flight to Thailand. While there, he discovered a passion for SCUBA Diving where he eventually trained and worked his way up to Dive Master. Following his passion, he picked up once again and moved to Australia where he advanced his diving career further, becoming a SCUBA Instructor, working on the Great Barrier Reef for a year. He returned to Thailand for another year and a half before making his way to the Bahamas. 

Since making his way there, he has spent the last 6 years crewing, working and living aboard boats; from rubber dinghies to 120′ power catamarans. Harrison’s favorite part of yachting is being out on the ocean, in the sun, with the salt spray in his face. He is happiest doing deckhand and engine room work, tying lines, and driving tenders. Harrison loves listening to and creating music. He will gladly sit to play guitar and sing for hours. He has a passion for SCUBA diving and free diving and loves sharing his knowledge about marine life. 

One of his favorite memories on a yacht was waking up to the engines starting at 3 AM with 70 knot winds in a cyclone off the Great Barrier Reef. The ship had broken a mooring line and he and the captain had to cut lines and save the vessel from drifting onto the reef, some 60 miles offshore. He loves the adrenaline rush and works well under pressure. You can find him laughing, singing, dancing, or staring at the stars, and generally having a great time.
