I have worked at Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA for the past 20+ years. I have been in the service division for most of that time, working the technical assistance hotlines as an RTA from 1988 to 1992, covering GA, AL, TN, N. FL as a District Service Representative from 1992 to 1994, Supervising Marine RTAs in the Southern Region from 1994 to 1996, providing support to the Marine Sales Group as a Systems Analyst from 1996 to 2000, Managing the Service Department in the Southern Region from 2000 - 2004 and most recently (2004-2009) as the National Marine Service Manager. In February 2009, I became the Manager of the Operations Department in our Marine Rigging and Parts Division. Prior to coming to Yamaha, I worked as an Outboard Boat Rigger, Outboard and Stern Drive Technician, Parts Manager and Service Manager at a small dealership in Columbus, GA (Action Marine, Inc.) from 1978 to 1988. During that time I was a Certified Technician for Mariner, Yamaha and Evinrude Outboards, Mercruiser and OMC Sterndrives.
