Anything from Cruising boats to racing. I grew up sailing on my family's Chesapeake 32 and Cal 36, and I've been sailing since I was a kid.
What got you into the marine industry?
Growing up on the water, I was drawn to a "profession" that integrated my own passion to be on/around the water, with helping people to further explore what sailing has to offer in the form of recreation and relaxation.
How long have you been in the industry?
Having been in the industry for over 20 years, I especially take pride in going the extra mile for customers, and maximizing their time on the water, in whatever form that may be. Whether its sailing, windsurfing, or kitesurfing, I will take great pride in offering you the best sail care that the Great Lakes has to offer!
