Growing up on the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, I spent my childhood boating with my family, which ignited a lifelong passion for the marine industry. Over the years, I’ve transformed this passion into a fulfilling career.

With over 18 years of experience in the marine service industry, I have amassed a wealth of knowledge, education, and training. As a highly skilled marine coatings expert, my extensive career has been dedicated to marine paint and gelcoat application, as well as cosmetic and structural composite repairs. My expertise is further enhanced by advanced certifications with AwlGrip, the leading brand in marine coatings.

Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. From small repairs to large-scale projects, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and durability, while strictly adhering to federal, state, and local regulations.

Combining years of hands-on experience with a deep understanding of marine coatings technology, I offer a unique skill set to every job. My dedication to excellence ensures that each boat not only looks stunning but also stands the test of time.

Let’s discuss how I can bring new life to your boat and keep it in pristine condition.
