Deberah was born in Ventura California in the early 70’s; a true California Girl. The call of the ocean was always very strong and after graduating high school, she joined the US Navy where she served during Operation Desert Storm as an Aviation Storekeeper and was decorated in the Congressional Record of Honor for Humanitarian Service for her participation in the fire fighting and search and rescue operations after the Loma Prieta Earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area in October 1989. After the Navy, Deberah moved to Las Vegas where she met her husband and worked as a paralegal until 2012. Eventually Deberah wanted to stretch her legs from behind the desk and decided to pursue her dream of being a chef. She attended the College of Southern Nevada’s Culinary Degree Program and quickly achieved her goal. After graduation, she received a call to help a friend who needed a Chef for a 9 day charter to the Channel Islands. She jumped at the chance and back to the Sea she went and has been steadily employed as a private and charter chef since that time. She has immense gratitude that she has the opportunity to do two of her favorite things as her career; create amazing food for Aquasition’s guests and to travel the world. Deberah’s specialty is exceptional gourmet cuisine using fresh local ingredients and always on time!

A long time ago, far away on a farm in North East Missouri, Ryan Wear was born. He had an interesting childhood working on a pig farm and entertained himself by blowing things up for fun. After attending the University of Missouri for five years he graduated with a degree in Philosophy. His original plan was to teach, however after finishing school he visited his sister in Miami and learned about yachting. He worked in yachting on deck for a year before gravitating to engineering. Fixing things was a change from blowing things up that Ryan enjoyed. During his time on yachts he worked with a beautiful Ukrainian girl named Iryna. After few months of dating, Iryna returned to Ukraine. Ryan promptly followed her and whisked Iryna off her feet. They have been happily married since. Ryan started on the previous Aquasition, a 124ft Broward. The owners appreciated the couple’s hard work and brought them along to the current Aquasition. It’s no wonder the owners have kept Ryan on so long, his satirical humor will always bring a smile to the most stern of personalities. It’s an excellent compliment to his engineering mindset and helps with keeping Aquasition running smoothly.
