Mr. Munoz's journey into the maritime industry began in 1981 with his early experiences in marine transportation. His passion for the field led him to explore various facets of maritime operations, eventually founding The Maritime Executive in 1996. This venture allowed him to merge his expertise in marine transportation with his interest in publishing. His commitment to understanding the complexities of maritime operations and policy was further deepened by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989, which prompted him to focus on legislative changes affecting the industry.

In addition to his work with The Maritime Executive, Mr. Munoz served as principal of TM Marketing Group LLC from 1990 to 2024.
