He is a former US Navy communications/signalman specialist who after completing eight (8) years active duty started a career in Public Safety. During his career as a Fire/Ocean Rescue Chief, he reenlisted to the USCG with college under his belt and ambitions to become an officer. He served six (6) years in the USCG as boat coxswain/SAR, and a Port security unit boarding officer before deploying overseas to Iraq and Afghanistan as a military contractor/officer to provide military and local national training programs in a tactical/security role, Drone/TCOM pilot/payload operator, Intelligence reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), Tactical Law enforcement, and medical fields. In 2007, Brevard County (FL) had been identified as Forbes magazine’s most dangerous beach and Werneth was determined to do something about it. He stated that there was 10 drowning fatalities that year because Brevard County didn’t have adequate protection on the beach - Brevard had only part-time seasonal lifeguards at that time. To bring awareness to the problem, Werneth literally challenged the record books, and in an incredible feat of human endurance, became a Guinness World Record holder for prone paddleboarding. His journey took him a grueling 345 miles on his paddleboard, from Miami to Jacksonville, propelled only by his arms. As a result of Werneth putting his own safety at risk in order to raise public awareness for beach safety – and the need for more LIFEGUAR.ds up and down the coast – numerous lifeguard towers have since been added, which have and will save many lives in years to come. HE is also an accomplished physique athlete, having won the 2018 Space Coast Bodybuilding Championships titleShow more
