Robbin Anders

I've been in the marine industry for over 22 years, and it's been my first passion. It's been a hard journey, a long journey, but I've learned a whole lot along the way. As a parts manager or office manager, my key responsibility is making sure the customer is happy at all times possible. I know that's a challenge of its own, but I wouldn't have it any other way - I love a challenge because it keeps the brain active and keeps you on your toes. I focus on making sure everybody is working together and trying to solve problems or make the day better, just being proactive. The best achievement is learning the marine industry and how it works, taking that ride which is definitely a journey with surprises along the way. It's a fun, phenomenal career and I absolutely love it. What I love most about my role is the people - I enjoy people, I like to talk to people, make them laugh, and solve any issues that they may have. I learn a little bit about them so I'm more personable with them and understand their journey in life. As long as you're understanding and you listen, you would be amazed at how much you accomplish and how far you get. Most of my education is self-taught - I did high school and graduated, and that's the furthest extent of schooling I have. I've learned a lot out on the streets and by listening to people talk and hearing what they have to say, which can be very beneficial.
