Background

About Joshua Nelson

I am a seasoned professional with over 11 years of experience in the maritime industry and a strong foundation in finance. Currently, I own JMN Enterprises, where I provide low or no-cost financial literacy consultations to small LGBTQIA+ businesses and non-profits in the Seattle Metro area. My passion for empowering marginalized communities drives my mission to enhance financial understanding and foster sustainable growth. In my role as a Merchant Mariner Senior Training Specialist at Crowley Maritime, I oversee training delivery across multiple locations, manage relationships with vendors, and ensure that maritime personnel receive the training necessary for their success. My administrative skills support various functions, from procuring supplies to managing the Crowley Safety Program, reflecting my attention to detail and commitment to regulatory compliance. Previously, I held positions such as Merchant Mariner Training Administrator and Crewing Administrator, where I honed my analytical skills and gained extensive experience in data management and reporting. Additionally, my background as a Bookkeeper for CC ATTLES II, LLC and my role as the Organizing Director and Treasurer for the Pride Lives non-profit showcase my dedication to both financial management and community service. With a unique blend of maritime expertise and financial acumen, I am driven to create impactful solutions that enhance operational efficiency and support diversity in the business landscape.
