Our Crew

Chad Taylor has worked at South Shore Marina for as long as he can remember. The youngest son of Tom and Lisa Taylor, Chad started his career working during the summer on the dock at the Marina. Chad continued to work at the family marina throughout his high school years and while on breaks from college. He also joined the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve in July of 2000 and still serves in the reserves. Chad has been away from South Shore only for the two years he spent working in the auto industry and for the time required to serve on active duty during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Liberty Shield/Enduring Freedom. Chad now coordinates boat sales for the dealership.

Chad serves on several marine industry panels and was appointed by former Gov. Ted Strickland to the Ohio Waterways Safety Council. He has also earned honors as a Top Ten Lowe Boats salesperson, and was nominated by Boating Industry Magazine as being one of the Top 35 Young Industry Leaders under the age of 40. Chad continues to be an advocate for boater’s voices all over Southern Ohio. As well, he is active in the American Legion where he has served as several post officers and district officers. Chad enjoys boating, musky fishing, the Cincinnati Bengals, and riding his Harley-Davidson. Chad is married to his wife Stacy and they have three daughters; Brooklyn, Jenna, and Temperance.

Justin grew up in Beavercreek Ohio. He went to high school at Carroll and graduated from Wright State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Leadership. Before Justin started working for South Shore Marina, he worked for Dick’s Sporting Goods. Starting at Dick’s when he was in high school as a sales consultant, Justin worked his way up the ladder in the company to a Lead associate and then to a Hard lines Manager. Justin’s passion and love for boating and fishing resulted in him leaving Dick’s after 8 years to take over the Sales Consultant position here at Taylor’s South Shore Marina.

Justin is an avid boater and fisherman. Any time away from work, you can normally find him fishing at Caesar’s Creek, Rocky Fork or Cowan Lake. Justin is married to his wife Amanda and they have a daughter named Emma.

Theo is also a new addition to the shop. He was Valedictorian of his class of 2009 from Warren County Career Center and a 2011 graduate of Marine Mechanical Institute in Orlando, Florida. After graduating from MMI, Theo began his career at a large on-water operation a few hours north of here where he gained a lot of industry insight and experience in his 5 years of employment there. Theo and his family had spent many of hours on Cowan Lake and have known the Taylor family since his younger years when his father would get his boat serviced here at the dealership. South Shore and Theo finally had the opportunity to team up together in the fall of 2016. Theo is an avid boat enthusiast who also enjoys hunting and fishing in his free time. Theo has long cited that his younger years spent around Cowan Lake was the spark that made him want to pursue a career in the marine industry.
