With his father’s travel lift, towing, and, salvaging businesses in Runaway Bay, Sharm grew up not only close to the water but also close to the boating maintenance industry. After working for his father, Sharm took to the sea for years on commercial fishing vessels to attain his sea time for his skipper’s ticket. Once he had achieved the time required he returned to the shore to continue his schooling for his ticket, all the while employed at All Diesels where he worked on rebuilding, maintaining, and testing diesel engines.
After taking the skipper’s ticket exam, he once again returned to the open water for many years, working in commercial tug boating and dredging operations.
Finally, in February 2008 Sharm began his employment with R Marine Jones where he has been ever since. He is a well-known face on the R Marine Jones maintenance team, working to provide customers with the best possible service and advice when it comes to operating and maintaining their vessels. Sharm is also a very familiar face on the various events hosted by R Marine Jones, helping bring the members of our ever-expanding circle of Riviera friends out on exciting journeys across the waters that he has known for years.
