I love sailing/boating and I hate bad quality products, especially when I'm sailing. So, I wanted to bring people products I know will be excellent quality and the products will help them safely enjoy their time on the water. I have run a number of companies for others so I know what works and what doesn't. Indie Marine is a passion for me and my family, we love the independence it gives to us and our customers.

Growing up I always looked forward to the short window of Canadian summers to get on the boat and fish with my parents. There is a certain peace of mind while you are out on the lake and with good company. When I first sailed on my brother's boat I instantly fell in love with sailing. Naturally, when the opportunity to work with him and launch Indie Marine arose, I jumped at the chance. I love how Indie Marine promises quality whether you are a beginner or experienced veteran of the water.

As a family, we have been boaters for as long as anyone can remember. Shane's family always had a boat and that just spilled into his relationship with his wife Andrea. Andrea and Shane bought their first boat before buying their first house.(Shane is still not sure how he convinced Andrea to do that). Shane and Andrea raised their children on boats and their sons are accomplished sailing instructors. We love boating/sailing, we have experience and want others to share in that passion.
