About Ryan

Boating has been a part of my life for 35 years. I grew up on Johnson Lake, NE and after a long day of working for my dad’s construction company out in the summer’s heat we would load up and spend the evening out on the lake. We would spend many afternoons and weekends out at Johnson Lake and Plum Creek Canyon wakeboarding and having a great time together with friends and family, I have such great memories of those times and traveling for wakeboard competitions with my family. I continued boating all through out my time in the United States Navy while I was Stationed in Washington State. It didn’t matter where I was at, I have always found a way to get out on the water. It’s more than a passion of mine it’s a lifestyle. You could say I live for the water. That is why I made the choice to get into the boating industry and work for Omaha Marine. I want to pass on the passion and lifestyle for boating that I have to others and help them create memories of their own.

I will not only help you find the boat that best fits your family’s needs, I will show you the lifestyle that comes along with it. Weather that is giving you wakeboarding or surfing lessons or help you dock your boat on a windy day, I will be by your side during your boating journey.

Now let’s get your journey started!

About Brandon

I am as passionate as any about the Lake Lifestyle as I have had the opportunity to grow up on Westshores Lake in Waterloo, Nebraska. I love to be on the water and at the Lake even if it isn't in my back yard. As a family we go on about 2-3 fishing excursions a year Throughout the midwet. I get the pleasure of being the deignated Captian on the water. While home I love to get behind my families MasterCraft XT22 and Shred the wake from sun up to sun down And love to share that passion with as many people as possible. 

Overall I really enjoy boating in general and strive to live the lake lifestyle everyday I can. It is easy for me to come to work everyday becasue I love sharing the joy that is BOATING!
