I was married in 1995 and am a proud father of two adult sons. In the fall of 2020, the opportunity to purchase North Shore from Doug Haskell was presented to me by my friend Troy. Much like Troy, I reached a point where I wanted to exit Corporate America. After my wife and I moved to our lake house in November 2020, Troy approached me about becoming business partners and it was a dream come true. Troy and I worked alongside Doug to experience the business prior to executing the purchase in April 2021.

I was married in 1996 and am a proud father of two adult daughters. Purchasing North Shore from Doug Haskell was in the making for quite some time. Having grown up on the same lake with Doug Haskell and his family, I have known him since I was 12 years old. Not only have I been friends with his sons since childhood, but my parents have been close friends with Doug and Kathy since I can remember. Following a successful Corporate career, I reached a point where I wanted to be able to live at the lake and pursue what I am truly passionate about (the water and everything to do with it). I began talking with Doug about one and a half years ago about his exit strategy from North Shore ownership and we had many conversations about what that looked like for him and how we could make my dream a reality. Starting mid last summer 2020, I started working alongside Doug to learn the intricacies of his business. In the fall of 2020, I approached my friend Brent to see if he would be interested in being partners on this business to which he was ecstatic. Between late fall of 2020 and April 2021, we began to take the necessary steps to acquire ownership of North Shore while keeping Doug contractually on board for 1 year to ensure a smooth transition with the option for a second and third year on a consultative basis.

We offer outstanding pontoons that will create memories for your family for years to come!

We are ready to serve you.
