Who or what is your inspiration in business?

The inspiration came from my grandfather, an entrepreneur who started a car dealership and shared his love for the water with me. By age 10 I was washing and detailing his boat, learning the work early. A friend and I even tried offering up inside of Pilots Point but we were asked to leave for not having insurance. I never stopped detailing. After 3 years of working in Essex shipyards, I saw how many hassles boat owners face and created this business to make boating easier.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by the challenge of building something from the ground up and proving that dedicating and hard work can dominate a market. Then each day reminding myself how I am only as good my product and vice verse.
