In this special episode of the Between the Levees Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Craig E. Philip, PhD, an Ivy league student with a passion for the maritime industry and a towboat bearing his name.  We discuss his life, career, his family, and the state of the industry today.  Try and keep up.  This one moves fast.

In this episode of Between the Levees, Terence Gomez joins me for a chat.  We discuss the usual round of questions to learn more about an illustrious career that developed alongside the industry in the New Orleans area, his family, an eventual retirement, and the temporary peace he finds on the local fairways and greens.

In this episode of Between the Levees, I'm joined by Jeff Kindl, the recently retired VP of Gulf Operations for ACBL.  I worked with him following ACBL's acquisition of AEP from early 2016 to mid 2018.  We discuss his entrance into the maritime industry, the development of a busy career, his family, and plans for a few more rounds of golf.

For this special episode of Between the Levees, I sit down with Captain Mike "Beaver" Burkhart.  We discuss the highs and lows of his life, his journey into the marine industry, and a decades-long passion project that continues to this day.

Special Thanks to Dianne C. for the recommendation, and to friend of the show, Turbo Hughes, for helping make the connection.

I'm joined for this episode by Denny Palmer, now a Port Captain bouncing between New Orleans and Houston.  We met at AEP when I first joined the industry back in mid-2015.  Our career paths diverged considerably thereafter once we'd each parted ways with ACBL, but it was great catching up with him today about life since we'd last shared a glass of scotch.  

Re-post:

I was joined by David on my other podcast (Getting to Know You) to discuss his website, but we covered his career in the marine industry as well.  I met him in a wheelhouse in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in late 2016 if I'm not mistaken, and he asked me to write an article for his website about our podcast visit.

I am joined once again by Mark Knoy on this special episode of Between the Levees.  He shares insights about the development of the industry over the last 50 years, the current state of affairs in barge transportation, and we chat briefly about his life since our last visit.

I am joined on this episode of Between the Levees by Ross Clark, Sales and Business Development Manager for Basin Fleeting.  We discuss his upbringing and family, and the development and future opportunities of the company.

I'm joined for this episode of Between the Levees by Mark Murphy, an associate I met during the transition from AEP to ACBL back in early 2016.  We discuss his expansive resume across a few decades, and his love for the industry and the personnel that make it happen.

In this episode, I am joined my Lieutenant Tim Veach of the United States Coast Guard.  He and I met at the VTS Station in Morgan City in early 2019.  I'd fallen out of touch with him as his career took him back toward home, but as he approaches retirement from a 20 year military service, we chat about his life and family, and the development of an exciting and fulfilling career.  Looking forward to whatever happens next for him.
