Born in a small town in Southwest Michigan, Lisa grew up boating on inland lakes on her family's 17-foot ski boat. As an optimistic and adventurous girl, Lisa tried everything; tubing, wakeboarding, knee boarding, skiing, even a boat-camping trip along Kentucky Lake. After graduating from Western Michigan University, Lisa moved to Florida in search of sunny skies and salty air. Joining MarineMax in 2014, Lisa has organized events and Getaways! for customers, worked with local teams on various marketing projects, and interviewed countless industry leaders. She is grateful to be a part of the "From the Helm" team and looks forward to bringing boating news to enthusiasts across the globe.
