The coordination side of maritime work
Michael Evans Jr. serves as Associate Manager, Maritime Operations at USPA Nationwide Security, where he coordinates maritime patrol assignments involving vessel captains, regional field operators and company personnel. Based in New York, his responsibilities extend to maritime operations in Miami, Los Angeles and Houston.
His career within USPA began as a Boat Handler Intern before he advanced to Boat Handler and First Mate. This progression provided practical experience with vessel operations, crew coordination and the safety responsibilities associated with maritime assignments.
Evans attended Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, for 2 years, studying criminal justice and cybersecurity. He subsequently pursued specialized maritime education at Maritime Professional Training in Fort Lauderdale, completing studies that included Maritime Engineering, Able Seafarer, RIB Master & Powerboat, Personal Safety and Social Responsibility, Personal Survival Techniques, Basic Fire Fighting, and First Aid and CPR.
His current management responsibilities involve coordinating patrol personnel and communicating with regional operators and vessel captains as assignments develop. Different maritime environments require distinct staffing arrangements, operating procedures and coordination with personnel who hold direct responsibility for vessel operations.
Evans is the son of USPA founder Michael Evans, who established the company in New York in 2005. His professional career and present management responsibilities are documented separately from those of his father.
As Associate Manager, Maritime Operations, Evans continues developing his experience within USPA's national maritime operations structure while pursuing further professional education.
