Our Team

Josh has played a key role in expanding and modernizing our operations through innovative techniques and advanced equipment. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in Economics in 2008, entered the maritime industry in 2009, and became a certified Marine Chemist in 2013.

Beyond his work with our company, Josh has been instrumental in improving shipboard confined space rescue protocols in the Charleston area. Working closely with repair yards, contractors, the North Charleston Fire Department, the U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command, and the U.S. Coast Guard, he helped develop stronger coordination and greater understanding among the organizations involved in emergency response. These efforts have led to numerous technical training sessions and strengthened the industry’s approach to confined space rescue.

Josh has also maintained a strong commitment to the maritime industry through leadership and advisory roles. He served as an Atlantic sectional delegate on the Marine Chemist Association (MCA) Executive Committee from July 2017 to April 2019, as an Independent Marine Chemist on the Marine Chemist Qualification Board (MCQB) from January 2019 to June 2024, and as a member of several safety committees and task forces. He then served as Chair Elect of the MCA Board of Directors from July 2024 to July 2026 and currently serves as Chair.

Casey began his maritime career in 2011 when he enrolled at the United States Merchant Marine Academy (USMMA). In 2013, he joined Detyens Shipyards, Inc. as a Ship Superintendent Intern, where our team had the opportunity to work with him. After graduating from USMMA in 2015 with a B.S. in Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management, Casey joined the United States Navy Reserve Strategic Sealift Officer Force and served several years with the Military Sealift Command (MSC).

During his time with MSC, Casey sailed aboard a variety of vessels, including submarine tenders, fast combat support ships, and dry cargo ships, building extensive experience in vessel machinery, maintenance, diagnostics, repair, engineering operations, and damage control. This hands-on experience provided a strong foundation for his training as a Marine Chemist, which he began in 2020.

Casey earned his Marine Chemist certification in 2022 and completed hundreds of inspections in Texas before joining our team in July 2023. He is also an Eagle Scout.
