I was born into my parent's business which began in 1955. I began learning and helping in the business at the age of 7 and continued working summers throughout my college years.

My father passed in 1977 and for 5 years, I taught school and ran the Marina. Since 1982 I have devoted every bit of my time and energy to the improvement and growth of Uihlein's Marina and facilities. I have a Master Captain's License, strong qualifications and extensive knowledge of marina operations.
I am proud of the direction in which Uihlein's has been heading. The staff are all extremely well qualified and a pleasure to work with. They have a respect for themselves, their job and the people they service. My heart is in the business and I believe theirs is also. Each of them strives to better themselves and continue to do so year after year.
My staff and I want every patron to have a pleasant experience at Uihlein's. We will do all we can to satisfy our patrons' every need. We have been servicing people and making boating better for over 60 years and will take pride in continuing. We thank and love our customers and greatly appreciate the opportunity to make their time on the water make things nicer in their lives,
