Boating, snowmobiling, Golf

I have been boating since I was 12, bought my first jet ski at 16, my first boat at 18.

I live on Lake Wisconsin currently as a weekend home, I own a Bennington and two Sea Doos

I have never sold boats until last year except for my own, but caught on quickly, I am very good with people

and do my research on my product and my customers. I delivered or picked up at least 100 boats last year,

when we were busy or short staffed I pitched in to assist, I delivered all of my sale boats. (Zero accidents, zero traffic violations.)


Snowmobiling with customers and friends since I was 16.


Golf weekly time permitting!

Additional Information

I think I would be a great addition to the Boathouse team, I am a self starter, do not need any hand holding or a lot of training.

(I have sold a lot of products in your line up that came in on trade)

I am extremely efficient on following up on leads, making calls, emails, texts.

I have many references in former customers (Now Friends) current customers, and Gordy's employees.
