Omaha Marine Center Staff

Having been a Nebraska watersports enthusiast and local lake boating rat my entire life combined with an entire career of sporting goods sales management and ethical customer service makes me well suited to help you with your waterfront needs. My specialty is problem-solving. We are here to help and we stand behind what we sell!

Boating has been a part of my life for 35 years. I grew up on Johnson Lake, NE and after a long day of working for my dad’s construction company out in the summer’s heat we would load up and spend the evening out on the lake. We would spend many afternoons and weekends out at Johnson Lake and Plum Creek Canyon wakeboarding and having a great time together with friends and family, I have such great memories of those times and traveling for wakeboard competitions with my family. I continued boating all through out my time in the United States Navy while I was Stationed in Washington State. It didn’t matter where I was at, I have always found a way to get out on the water. It’s more than a passion of mine it’s a lifestyle. You could say I live for the water. That is why I made the choice to get into the boating industry and work for Omaha Marine. I want to pass on the passion and lifestyle for boating that I have to others and help them create memories of their own.

I will not only help you find the boat that best fits your family’s needs, I will show you the lifestyle that comes along with it. Weather that is giving you wakeboarding or surfing lessons or help you dock your boat on a windy day, I will be by your side during your boating journey.

Now let’s get your journey started!

My family has owned a boat since I was 7 years old and my love for boating and the water has only grown since then. It all started with my family’s annual trip to Okoboji, Ia where we would stay at our cabin right on the lake with a beach in our backyard, we would spend all day and into the night exploring the lake, tubing, wakeboarding, and just living in our own paradise. After renting a boat for the first few years my parents decided it was time to buy. Once we had a boat of our own every weekend in the summer turned into a vacation at the lake, (Manawa, Fremont lakes, Carter lake, Branched Oak, and the river). One of my favorite memories was the weekends I would have baseball tournaments. My dad would load up the boat, hook it up, and trailer it to the ball-park; after the 3-4 games were played for the tournament we would load up as many teammates that wanted to come and it was off to the lake.

Boating as a family has always been important to me and we continue to keep the tradition alive with little girl, and numerous weekends on the lake. the opportunity to pass that along is what brought me to Omaha Marine Center. Not to mention the fact that my family has been a customer our entire boating life.  

Boating has always had a special place in my heart since I was very young and it's where my family grew a strong bond and still love to this day. The opportunity to spread that is what makes every deal special

"Every weekend is a mini-vacation on the boat"

I am as passionate as any about the Lake Lifestyle as I have had the opportunity to grow up on Westshores Lake in Waterloo, Nebraska. I love to be on the water and at the Lake even if it isn't in my back yard. As a family we go on about 2-3 fishing excursions a year Throughout the midwet. I get the pleasure of being the deignated Captian on the water. While home I love to get behind my families MasterCraft XT22 and Shred the wake from sun up to sun down And love to share that passion with as many people as possible. 

Overall I really enjoy boating in general and strive to live the lake lifestyle everyday I can. It is easy for me to come to work everyday becasue I love sharing the joy that is BOATING!
