Gary was introduced to boating at an early age by his grandparents on the Ohio River. Gary has over 18 years of experience in the marine industry. A passion for boats is what got him started in the business. Gary has owned several boats from an 18' 4 cylinder to 30' twin engine performance boats.

Josh, better known by his nickname “Captain” to many, has from a young age pursued a career and lifestyle centered on spending more time afloat than on dry land. From marina work as a kid, he continued to develop his passion for the maritime industry, over time working his way to becoming a master captain in his early 20’s. Through his college years, Josh worked as a charter and delivery captain logging thousands of miles in the clear blue waters of sunny southeast Florida and equally, right here at home along the Ohio River. “Without a doubt, the best college job a guy could ask for!”
Josh’s established skillset and industry knowledge is grounded in experience and passion. This combined with his jovial and outgoing “people person” demeanor, business forward acumen and hands-on approach make him an excellent asset to our team and foremost, a resource to our customers. Josh listens to and understands his client’s wants/needs and efficiently finds the solution that best meets or exceeds their expectations. Above all else, sharing his knowledge and love of the water and building lasting, trusted relationships with clients is his core principal.
When not working, Josh is easy to find at the marina or out cruising the Ohio River. He delights in time shared with family and friends and is an avid fisherman/outdoorsman. He is a proud UC Bearcat, spending the fall and winter months rooting on the football and basketball teams at home games.
