Jun 2020 - Present
In the 18 months as a rigging tech at boaters world, the largest boat yard and dealership in the state of Florida, I have become familiar with almost all systems and manufacturers of marine outboards and boat builders in the Southeast US. There has yet to be an issue or problem I have been unable to solve with thorough attention to detail and professionalism I have gained throughout my experience at Boaters World. I am confident in my abilities and look forward to new challenges and experiences that the industry continues to throw my way. Show less
