I was born in St-Hyacinthe, a city close to Montreal, but raised in the countryside near Levis. In a region called Bellechasses, I was raised in two small towns with a population below 3000. They are called Saint-Damien-De-Buckland and Saint-Charles-de-Bellechasses. My mom became pregnant at the age of 16 years old and dropped off school to raise me since my dad lost the privilege of being my dad in court. My mom raised me with the help of my grandmother, taking shifts to take care of me while the other was working to provide for the family.

In 2006, my mother met my current stepfather and helped my mom and me to get back on track. My mom returned to school to get her high school diploma; she also did some post-graduate accounting courses and secured a position at Desjardins. In 2009, my sister appeared in my life. My stepfather works as a machinist at Teknion. I attended my elementary school in Saint-Damien-de-Buckland and grades 7-8 (secondaire un et deux), then moved to Saint-Charles-De-Bellechasses and completed grades 9, 10, and 11 (secondaire trois. Quatre et cinq) but failed to graduate since I failed French class.

To get my high school diploma, I needed to go to Saint-Gervais to finish my French course as part of adult school. After Completion, I enrolled in the military. From 12 to 16, I was part of the sea cadet, in which I participated 100%, achieved multiple qualifications, and acquired knowledge that I still use. I also briefly worked as a night sanitizer for a food factory called LTD Prodal while waiting for an answer from the recruitment center in Quebec. At this moment, the highest education level is my high school diploma. I am enrolled in a military arts and science program and plan to study political science upon completing the first program. I always wanted to serve, always wanted to help.

I was debating for a while which way to help my country's citizens and the values I hold. At the age of 12 years, the sea cadets offered many excellent opportunities to sail in my teenage years. During that time, I sailed with the orcas in British Columbia for seven weeks with the Canadian Coast Guard. During that trip, I crossed the Arctic Circle and experienced trades such as steward, engineer, deckhand, helmsperson, cook, and officer of the watch. That internship closed the deal on wanting to be a boatswain for the RCN. I have fallen in love with the lifestyle since. I have fallen in love with the lifestyle because of the traveling opportunities, culture, language, and differences the Royal Canadian Navy makes overseas. There is no other job that would make me feel so accomplished. After over six years, I could not see myself anywhere else. I am making a difference for my peers, the ship, and, ultimately, the Canadian government. Doing so is making a difference for Canadian citizens.

My career has been busy. I started my career with a year-long program at the Canadian Forces Language School (CFLS) in Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu right after basic training, where I learned everything related to English. I then moved to Halifax. Halifax was my preferred choice since it is closer to my family. I wanted this to keep closer ties with my family and be able to see them more often. That is important to me since they made me who I am today. I was then put on a personal awaiting training (PAT) platoon. I did different tasks while waiting for my boatswain rank qualification, the Ordinary Seaman course. I acted as a fire sentry for hot work onboard His Majesty Canadian Ship Toronto, did a trial program for the deploying unit HMCS Fredericton, and did miscellaneous tasks such as waxing floors, rearing rooms, etc. Then, I completed my RQOS, now called RQS3. Upon Completion, I received my official first ship, HMCS John's. I sailed to Europe as part of the 75th anniversary of the Battle of the Scheldt. This ceremony made me feel important and confirmed that this life is for me. I was then chosen to share my experience with civilians during the Great Lakes deployment.

After this deployment, I prepared His Majesty Canadian Ship Saint-John's to go in refit. After, I crew swapped from His Majesty's Canadian Ship (HMCS) St John's to HMCS Ville De Quebec. Then, a significant change happened. I was posted to the Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel to implement regular force mentalities and values. I prepared for OP Projection with HMCS Shawinigan, but COVID-19 happened, and the deployment was canceled. I then prepare for operation caribe and deploy. I was part of the 50-caliber crew for the arrest of multiple drug busts that HMCS Shawinigan acquired. I received the Sailor of the Month award given by the Commanding Officer at the time, Lieutenant-Commander Sanson WV.

Following that, I was advance promoted to Sailor first class and was put on my boatswain rank qualification sailor first class course. After completing the course, I did multiple courses to advance my career, such as Attack Team Leader and Defence Learning Network courses. I also became the small arms custodian for the ship. In this role, I learned essential parts of paperwork and enhanced my writing skills via email due to the email correspondence required for this job. I also learned tricks to help maintain and stow weapons properly. I made connections with other custodians and base staff members regarding firearms. After my career manager meeting, I was offered post-graduate education to help me achieve my long-term goal of being fleet chief. I then started my military art and science program through Algonquin College and Royal Military College (RMC). Then, I prepared the HMCS SHA to go in refit and transfer to HMCS Glace Bay. Without a Master Sailor, I stepped in and acted as one to help the chief boatswain mate administratively. I trained new naval experience program, reservists, and Naval warfare Officers on how to be a sailor.

I also became the bar manager of the junior rank mess of HMCS Glace Bay. I have overseen the forecastle for every alongside and slipping since. My skill and knowledge were then called upon again for Great Lakes deployment, where I acted as Master Sailor/ forecastle In Charge. During that trip, I spent many hours on the forecastle as cable party I/C. After the Great Lakes Deployment, the ship was asked to deploy for OP Projection; halfway through the deployment, Canadian warship 701 received different orders.

Canadian warship 701 was called to serve on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean for Operation Globe. When the mission was completed, we returned to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The ship went on post-deployment leave (PDL). After this little rest, I participated in the Marblehead race escort. This race started in Boston, Massachusetts, and finished in Halifax. After the race, my ship was called upon for a distress call at the Titanic wrecked. Unfortunately, It was too late to do anything. After completing this distress call, I went to New York City Fleet Week. When my communication and teaching skills came into play again after this fantastic fleet week, I returned the ship to Halifax. I prepared the maritime coastal defense vessel for another Great Lakes deployment. I helped the ship prepare by inspecting safety equipment, replacing broken gear, and maintaining the upper deck equipment. I also removed rust and primed and painted the exterior for the next trip. I painted the anchor cable and ensured the markings were up to standard. I also cleaned, maintained, and sent the broken weapons for repair. After all those tasks were done in two weeks, I sailed to Sydney, where I was relieved of my duties to attend a medical first responder (MFR) course, where I extended my knowledge in saving lives. After completing MFR, I started the Helicopter Crash Rescue Firefighter course (HCRFF). In this course, I learned how to trust my teammates, the material of a helicopter, the rescue of aircrew members, and the isolation of power on a helicopter; I had a short portion on hazmat. I learned which references to consult and how to use them. I also learned how to extract people from vehicles and use the twin-agent unit system (TAU) to help fight helicopter fires. I also had a tour and PowerPoint given by pilots about their safety equipment, hazards around the helicopter, and flight safety procedures. After Christmas leave, I took my primary leadership course. I learned how to supervise section attacks, vehicle checkpoints, fob security, search procedures, and instructional techniques (how to teach a physical training class, drill class, knowledge class, and technical lessons. I also learned about administration in the CAF and the 16 steps of battle. Once the course was completed in March, I got posted to NRU Asterix, and I went on a pre-deployment phase where I had to get all my things in order and then deployed in Hawaii for RIMPAC 2024, which is the largest naval exercise in the world. During that exercise, I became cage operator qualified. In other words, I am now qualified to operate heavy machinery during replenishment at sea. Upon my return, I went on vacation out of province. Then, I updated my course and attended refresher to keep them current. I also help with the process of getting the ship in refit.  When the refresher were completed i got attached posted to the boat shed division in NFSA, which i have been instructing RQS3 and RQS1 courses. I also volunteered for multiple waterbone security tasking patrolling and defending foreign ship at the home base. I joined the Knights of Columbus in mid-October, knights of Columbus are a non-for-profit organization that gives to the community for the people in need. https://www.kofc.org/en/who-we-are/our-story/index.html .I have been an active member of the council of St. Peter 3133, since January 25, 2025.

Which is the biggest Naval Exercise in Europe.  Upon completion of the deployment, I have been working at the Asterix Shore office, where I helped members with their Dag process, moving the office to a new building. I have also helped with the coordination and judging of the floats for the Natal Day Parade.  I have been selected to be the sailor of the quarter for the Atlantic fleet for the second quarter of the year. I got ready to deploy again for August.  Deployed on Op Latitude,  became the Unit Security Supervisor for NRU Asterix. 

Every job has pros and cons. No job is perfect. I have heard enough people complaining about how bad the Royal Canadian Navy is without finding solutions. I want to be a solution. I want a great, strong, respected Navy that the public wants to be part of. I want to be part of this organization and do my best for the fleet as a fleet chief for the Royal Canadian Navy one day. I want an engaged fleet that people are proud to be part of. I want a more involved fleet since we have been doing the minimum expected of us lately. I want to be an essential part of this organization that I cherish.
