Starting as a dock attendant in 1986 he worked his way\u00a0up to manager of the <strong>Dana Point Fuel Dock<\/strong>. In addition, he did consulting and\u00a0construction for Don Hellmers Engineering which specialized in marine engineering\u00a0and construction. During this time he worked on wharfs, piers and docks from San\u00a0Diego to Long Beach.<\/p>\n<p>In 1994 he took over operations and completely rebuilt the <strong>Dana Point Fuel Dock<\/strong>\u00a0which included not only the floating docks, pilings and building, but also the entire\u00a0fueling system. His knowledge of marine construction along with his exposure\u00a0to multiple fueling facilities on the water made him the ideal candidate for the re-design. <strong>Dana Point Fuel Dock<\/strong> was a frontrunner of environmental consciousness\u00a0with its 100% double walled piping system; the first of its kind in Southern\u00a0California. Given his experience and success, he was subsequently asked to\u00a0consult on various fuel dock projects, including the Avalon Fuel Dock, Isthmus Fuel\u00a0Dock, Willow Beach Fuel Dock, Newport Harbor Patrol fueling facility and Marina Del\u00a0Rey Fuel Dock.<\/p>\n<p>John also assisted in the remodeling of the Newport Landing Fuel Dock and was\u00a0later given the opportunity to purchase it. He owned and operated the Newport\u00a0Landing Fuel Dock from 1997-2011. In the late 1990\u2019s he helped establish the bilge\u00a0pad exchange program in both Newport Harbor and Dana Point Harbor. Both\u00a0programs are still running and have proven to work in keeping oil pollution out of\u00a0the local harbors.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from his experience in fueling systems and marine construction, he has also\u00a0been an avid boater since childhood. His stepfather was a past Commodore of the\u00a0Dana West Yacht Club and they have had a boat in the harbor since 1974. He was\u00a0in the sailing club at UCI from 1990-1994 and has spent many winters taking boats\u00a0as far south as Costa Rica and as far north as Alaska; some as deckhands, some\u00a0as a Captain, and sometimes simply for pleasure. He has extensive knowledge in\u00a0both gasoline and marine diesel engines. He worked for three years on a commercial\u00a0fishing boat and has also done side work for Vessel Assist, primarily in boat\u00a0salvages.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"John Van Dixhorn has owned and operated the Dana Point Fuel Dock since 1994.\u00a0He graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 1991 with a Bachelor of\u00a0Science in Economics.
