Born in Wilmington, NC, I attended New Hanover High School and graduated from UNCW with a degree in Business Administration. Though I grew up working at Crocker's Marine, I took a position at a local car dealership as a service writer following graduation in 1996. I later moved to New Bern NC, to expand my boating knowledge at Hatteras Yachts but ultimately returned to the family business in 2000 when assuming a position at Morehead Marine.

My wife Ashleigh and I have lived in Wilmington since our marriage in 2001 when I returned home to Crocker's Marine.  We have a daughter Blythe, as well as our yellow lab Grady.  As a native of Wilmington and a boat dealer's son, both this area and this business are focal points in my life. I strive to serve my customers and their boating needs with the same enthusiasm as my father exhibited when he started this business back in 1969. I take pride in bringing boating fun to families throughout this region and look forward to assisting you.  Member of the Grady White President's Club for 2007.
