Matthew began interning at Detyens Shipyards, Inc. (DSI) the summer after graduating high school to gain valuable knowledge and experience in the brass tacks of the ship repair industry. He maintained his employment at DSI during breaks in his college schedule and after graduating from Clemson University in 2009 with a B.S. in Financial Management. During this time, he served the yard as an Assistant Ship Superintendent and Competent Person, as well as by executing aid and scholarship through his work with the company’s executive, accounting, production, hull, and human resource departments. After piquing an interest in becoming a chemist, he trained with us and became certified in August of 2018.
