About Me

Ten years ago I bought my first boat. It was a 23-foot Crestliner Grand Cayman pontoon boat. My family and I used it to fish, ski (yes, you can ski behind a pontoon boat), and cruise the lakes near our home. Two years ago, I bought a Boston Whaler to fish off the coast. I live for the weekends when I can go out on the water and escape the stress of life on land.

I also love helping others, which is why I created this website. Over time, Towers4Boats has grown into a resource for boating enthusiasts around world.
