A 2009 graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Jamie Losee spent the majority of his career as a merchant ship’s officer. At the academy, he majored in Maritime Operations and Technology, receiving a Bachelors of Science, USCG License, and Qualified Member of the Engine Department (any rating). In his years at sea, Capt Losee worked on various vessels ranging from 235 to 995 feet. His time as an officer allowed him to develop his leadership and business management skills in a dynamic high-stakes environment.
In 2018, when his son was born, sea-going life came to an end. Capt Losee was fortunate to begin working for one of the premier bunker trading companies. While there, he developed an extensive network of bunker and lubricant suppliers around the world. It is an industry that heavily values personal relationships and he has worked tirelessly to maintain those, traveling frequently to meet with suppliers and clients in person.
After proving himself as a Bunker Trader, an opportunity presented itself to return to sea for two more voyages.
Capt Losee has always maintained his Navy Reserve career, with multiple mobilizations including the Arabian Gulf and the Pacific. In 2022 he was selected to be the Aide de Camp to the Deputy Commander of United States Transportation Command. For over a year he was privileged to be with a 3 Star General during extremely high-level engagements with senior military, industry, and government. Under the mentorship of a 3 Star General, Capt Losee’s work ethic, discipline, and attention to detail grew exponentially.
Upon returning to civilian life Capt Losee leveraged his maritime background, bunkering knowledge and contacts, and his father’s environmental experience to found Gannet Marine Industries, a wide spectrum marine logistics and environmental company.
David Losee began his legal career in 1971 — just one year after Congress created the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Ever since, he has been at the forefront of environmental law in Connecticut. In the 1970s, as special counsel to the Connecticut Legislature’s Environment Committee, he was instrumental in drafting many of the state’s first environmental statutes. In 2002, he was lead counsel to the first college in the nation to complete the EPA’s Audit Policy Program, an “amnesty” program for regulated entities. Throughout his career, he has shared his extensive knowledge of environmental law and policy in speeches to organizations, business groups and public institutions.
His groundbreaking 2002 work in developing the college peer-audit program established a benchmark for future audits — not only of universities and colleges, but of all EPA-regulated industries. Dave now serves as special counsel to an ever-growing number of regulated industries in their environmental audit and environmental management programs. Among higher-education institutions, Dave represents more than 300 colleges in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Tennessee, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. His environmental compliance practice now includes over 100 supermarkets
Today, Dave represents clients in environmental litigation and litigation avoidance, and he counsels owners and operators of facilities and financial institutions regarding hazardous waste remediation, compliance, permitting and waste-management issues. For developers of industrial and commercial sites, he provides legal guidance with regard to all permit applications as well as in litigation, when necessary to accomplish the developer’s goals.
