The Early Years
In the early 1980s, Paul Haines worked tirelessly as a captain in Louisiana’s oil fields. These were demanding environments where safety and leadership were paramount. It was here that Paul developed the principles that would guide his future: a commitment to excellence, a passion for the sea, and a drive to create something extraordinary.
A Bold Idea
