Chad Verdin always knew he would wind up working on towboats. Reflecting on the 23 years he's been a captain and the years on deck before that, he calls it a family legacy and a passion he first learned from his grandfather and his uncles. "Growing up, when I was young, I used to go on the boat with my Grandpa," Verdin said. "It was just something I loved doing. I was born into it." Verdin was 20 when he was first issued his captains license. For the last 8-1/2 years, he has been a captain for Dupre Marine Transportation, headquartered in his hometown of Houma, La. |
