I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for over 20 years. After a career in the Navy and countless moves, I know what this climate can do to prized family furniture pieces and heirlooms. I started my first business, Captain’s Chair Upholstery with the idea of turning my hobby of carpentry and repairing broken furniture into a small business. Over the years, I have met industry leaders and upholstery professionals that have mentored me and helped shape my business into a multi-faceted line of services that reflect my experiences and interests. Near Shore Marine Services leverages my 100 ton U. S. Coast Guard Captains license, years of upholstery experience, and my love of cooking and time on the water as a charter chef.
