Wow, it's been a while. I have a few more gray hairs and wrinkles but, I'm vertical and still selling boats. Yes, selling boats. My job never ceases to entertain, challenge, teach and surprise every day! I've never been one to appreciate boredom. It happens easily for me and the influx of situations and personalities constantly changes. I delight in meeting such different people and learning from them. Practical lessons like how to flake a line quickly over a winch and not have a twist or, being introduced to a movie that explains a new customer's background. (East Texas? Watch Bernie) Conversations about boats morph into philosophical discussions since many times the acquisition of a boat allows a well planned life change. In order to help a customer decide on a design, I must first know how they plan to use the boat. That's where the dreams start. Well laid out courses that have been dreamed for years while sitting at a desk, staring at a brick wall on the other side of the hard earned office with a window.
I love to listen. I love to suggest this vehicle of dreams and help it become reality.
