2/O Felix Ryan Ancheta Jr., a seasoned seafarer with 15 years of experience, embarks on an exciting new phase of his career as he joins PTC for the first time. Hailing from Isabela, Ryan is not only a skilled Global Maritime Professional but also a devoted family man, married and blessed with three children. His journey to seafaring, however, was far from linear. Initially, aspiring to become a veterinarian, Ryan reconsidered his path during high school, reflecting on the practicality of his dreams.
"When I was in high school, I realized that if I pursued a career in veterinary medicine, I wasn't sure where my life would lead or what my situation would be. I saw that seafaring offered a great opportunity to have a better income for the future and to achieve stability. Initially, income was the main reason for me pursuing this job, but over time, I grew to love my work as a seafarer." he reflects.
Ryan's unwavering dedication to his family is at the heart of his professional journey. His seafaring career is driven by a commitment to provide a stable and prosperous future for his children. He says, "I am striving to continue as a seafarer, first because this is for my family, and next for my children's future. Actually, I'm already investing so that I can retire early and live my life with my family." This straightforward approach showcases his forward planning and deep devotion to his loved ones, serving as an inspiration for others in the maritime industry.
Ryan's journey with PTC began when Jessie James Estanislao from the PTC Talent Acquisition Group (TAG) reached out to him, offering an opportunity to become a PTC Global Maritime Professional. Though Ryan had applied to PTC in 2014, this marks the first time he will officially be part of the company. His gratitude towards PTC is evident as he expresses his heartfelt thanks for their support.
"I am very thankful for the opportunity. Since I'm new here, I feel overwhelmed because everything is smooth and well-coordinated. I believe PTC is a better company; that's why I'm very grateful." Ryan shares with optimism.
Ryan's story is a powerful example of resilience and adaptability. From shifting career aspirations to embracing the demands of a seafaring life, his journey underscores the importance of determination and a willingness to seize new opportunities. As he embarks on this new chapter with PTC, Ryan sets a shining example of what can be achieved through dedication, hard work, and a strong commitment to family. His journey with PTC is a testament to the opportunities that await those who are willing to embrace change and seize new possibilities.
