A die hard boating enthusiast, I have a real passion for getting people on the water. Whether guiding groups of boaters in the Bahamas or spending time with a novice boater in the bay, I try to help each Plantation Boat Mart customer to realize how amazing the boating life style is. Our events have turned thousands of customers from all over the world into a family of boaters with planned reunions all over the Bahamas and South Florida.
I am a South Florida native, being born and raised in Miami. I graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in 1992 and earned my BA from the University of Miami in 1996. I joined Plantation Boat Mart in 1998 and have spent the last 14 years with Plantation Boat Mart. In 2008, I completed my first Ironman triathlon. Today, I continue to dedicate myself to the outdoors whether it’s run and gun tournament fishing, spear fishing in the Bahamas or racing hundreds of miles in triathlon. Recently, I am the proud father of triplets (2 boys and a girl) Jesse, Jocelyn and Jeremy. -

I grew up on the shores of Lake Huron in Michigan working at the family marina. This 100-slip facility with service, sales and manufacturing taught me several aspects of the marine business. During this time I was taught all aspects of manufacturing of 24, 36 and 44 foot Trojan Yachts. Later, I joined the US Navy and was a Nuclear Operations instructor and operator on land based and submarine based nuclear power plants. For the last 15 years I have returned to my roots in the marine industry as a sales consultant and have had the pleasure of working on making people ’ s dreams come true.
My customer ’ s happiness is my first concern and the second is that they get what they are looking for. It is my hope that I can help you find your next boat or yacht, and leave you with the best experience of your life. I look forward to working with you. -

I relocated to South Florida from the Northeast (New Jersey) just over a year ago when I began working at PBM, but my boating background takes me back 18 years! Starting in the boatyard bottom painting, I worked my way up the ladder to production and all the way to general manager. I am a certified technician with the understanding that I do my job for the customer and their boating lifestyle!
My passion is fishing. Period. Whether it be charter fishing in the Bahamas or tournament fishing in Costa Rica or the Pacific Ocean. I have done it all worldwide.
My experience is an added advantage to any customer who is seeking a true assistant boat buyer as I can help you find the right boat for your needs and wants. -

I am a boating enthusiast committed to serving others and their boating needs I am in this business for the sheer enjoyment of it. My boating knowledge comes from growing up here in the keys on my father ’s marina. My hands on experience comes from owning, operating, and maintaining an assortment of different styles of boats throughout my life; from offshore fishing boats, to backcountry skiffs, and even high performance boats. I enjoy all styles of boating! Fishing, diving, spear fishing, island hopping, poker runs, wakeboarding, or just going out for a cruise. Being on the water is all that matters.
Simply put I am a passionate boater who loves helping other passionate boaters or new boaters get what they want. By offering the right boat, at the right price we make friends not sales. Give me a call and lets talk about what style of boating you may be looking to enjoy. Let me help you find the boat that fits you and your families needs.
I came to PBM to work with the best and when you are ready to buy a boat this is the team you will want to work with. Come in and see why we say that we are more than just a dealer, we are a life style. -

My career at Plantation Boat Mart began at day one in 1996! As a member of the founding family, I have been in and around the boating business my entire life and it still plays a major part in my immediate family ’s happiness.
At the shop, I handle many responsibilities including sales assistance on the retail finance side and to advertising needs both in print and online.
My husband and 2 children take an annual fishing trip to the Bahamas where we do what we love - fish! There is no better way to spend time and strengthen the bonds of family than in a boat on the water! That is why I have remained in the business and take great pleasure when we welcome a new member to the PBM family knowing they will enjoy it as much as I do! -

I grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. I have been a boating enthusiast since I was very young. I have always been passionate about boating. I grew up skiing and competed professionally in wake surfing for a few years. I have owned and maintained many different vessels, from fishing boats to large cruisers. I am learning the sport of fishing which is a new found love. I enjoy every moment I spend on the water. I always knew I wanted to pursue a career in the marine industry and relish the opportunity. Doing something you love doesn't feel like work and that's what I love most about the business. I enjoy meeting new boating enthusiasts and getting them into their dream boat. Nothing is more exciting or rewarding than that. I enjoy spending my free time on the water whether it's fishing, cruising, etc. This is what I love to do. And there is nothing better than being involved with boats on a daily basis.
