Gasaway will provide leadership and synchronicity to the company by focusing on an aggressive marketing strategy, building recurring revenue streams and implementing organizational and process efficiencies.

“Rick has a tremendous amount of industry knowledge as well as a successful track record with businesses in different industries, all of which include experience managing and coaching at an executive level,” said Kevin Code, CEO of The Boat House.

Code added Gasaway has already proven to be a valuable asset in guiding the company as a board member.

“I’m confident that Rick is the right person to build upon our momentum and drive our strategic goals at The Boat House,” Code said.

Gasaway said with its strong brand representation and scale, The Boat House Group  is uniquely positioned to offer customers an incredible lifestyle experience while continuing to grow.

“I am looking forward to contributing to that effort as a member of the executive team,” he said.
