Born and raised in Campbell River, Glen has spent a lifetime on the water. His journey began at the age of 14 as a deckhand on a commercial fishing boat, and by his early 20s, he was skippering fishing vessels up and down the British Columbia coast . After 30 years in commercial fishing, and a few thousand pots of coffee later, he faced an unexpected turning point in his career. Through word of mouth, he discovered the world of marine pilotage and found his next calling.
Now an unlimited licensed Pilot on the BC Coast, Glen is living proof that a career in marine pilotage is not only rewarding, but accessible to anyone with the determination to master ship handling and pursue a life on the water. His practical experience, sharp instincts, and down-to-earth humour make him a respected presence both on the bridge and in the boardroom.
As a Director, he brings a deep understanding of marine operations, a passion for mentorship, and a commitment to engaging the next generation of seafarers. He believes the best Pilots aren't born - they're made - through hands on experience, strong fundamentals, and a love for the sea.
