Brian’s childhood memories include salmon fishing and crabbing in Possession Sound. His obsession for boating developed into a watersports addiction which was powered by a Malibu Boat! Annual family houseboat trips to Lake Shasta furthered his fascination with slalom, wakeboarding, air-chairing, bare-footing and surfing. After graduating with a marketing degree from Washington State University (Go Cougs!), he turned his love for recreation into a career. Sales positions at Stevens Pass, Crystal Mountain, Connelly Skis and now Seattle Boat Company have driven his passion for work. Brian, wife Laila, son Lucas, and daughter Isabella, live in Everett and enjoy spending time exploring Eastern Washington in their truck camper, with a ski boat in tow.

Elizabeth grew up on the shores of Lake Sammamish. Her boating skills were put to the test when she and her sister completed the 6,000 mile Great Loop in a 16' open-hull aluminum skiff. Her three month “road trip” via the waterways was a steep learning curve and nothing short of an adventure. These days she spends most of her time on local lakes, carving out a couple weekends a year for some saltwater boating.  Part of the sales team for eight years now, Elizabeth has worked with families across the Puget Sound and out of state. Aboard or dockside, she’s a reliable resource and ready to help!

Rachel is a dedicated and knowledgeable member of the Seattle Boat team, with a true passion for all things boating. Having spent childhood summers with a Cobalt on Lake Washington and trailering it to lakes in northern Idaho, Rachel's understanding of the boating industry is unmatched. She joined Seattle Boat in 2019 and started in the FunShare rental program and service department before transitioning to her current role as a salesperson. For Rachel, there is nothing more fulfilling than helping clients find the perfect boat to suit their needs and witnessing their excitement as they take ownership. Her expertise and enthusiasm for boats make her an invaluable resource for anyone looking to find the perfect vessel for their family from Seattle Boat.

Kenji is a true Pacific Northwesterner, born and raised in Tigard, Oregon. He graduated from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma with a Bachelor of Arts in Business and Public Administration, minoring in Economics.

In 2007, Kenji joined the Seattle Boat Company where he has been helping boaters find their dream vessels ever since. He's not your average boat salesman - he's also a USCG 100 Ton Masters Captain who loves sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for boating with others. When he's not at the marina, you can find Kenji on the golf course, hiking trails or skiing down mountains with his wife Helen and dog Mochi. Both Kenji and Helen are passionate about boating and have spent the last 19 years exploring marinas from Olympia, WA to Desolation Sound, BC. Helen is a USCG Unlimited Tonnage Masters Captain with the Washington State Ferry System.

Whether you're new to boating or an experienced enthusiast, Kenji is here to create fun and excitement for all. Let him help you make your boating dreams come true!
