LAKE NORMAN MaRINA Serving Charlotte area boaters Since 1973 Building A Dream Lake Norman Marina Sales Team JIM WISE Lake Norman Marina has been owned and operated by the Kale Family since its conception in 1973. Dip and Elsie Kale started the business and throughout the 1970’s they ran the operation while raising their three young children. In the beginning, most of their sales were to neighbors around the lake. They took great care in getting to know everyone and giving them special personal service. Dip’s personality for being outgoing and an extremely honest business owner, really worked well for him in this small community of boaters. Dip & Elsie Kale After a few years, Lake Norman Marina was well known as the place to go, for all your boating needs. Their reputation for outstanding service was growing as the business grew throughout the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. And now, Lake Norman Marina has become recognized as one of the finest marine dealerships in the country. This is due to their reputation for outstanding service, quality boats at fair prices, and an excellent facility to store your boat. Dip and Elsie’s son Mark now manages the marina with the same vision and values initiated by his parents. Dip and Mark have been able to attract some of boating’s top professionals to Lake Norman. The employees love what they do and take great pride in letting you see how great a company Lake Norman Marina really is. Mark Kale • General Manager 1964 Dip Kale and his Boys. The Entire Kale Family Joined Lake Norman Marina in 1982 “I began a journey in January 1982 as the first salesman to be hired by Lake Norman Marina. My role has changed somewhat from those early days, but the journey continues. The countless friends and families I have met over these years have made this an extraordinarily rewarding experience. Often someone will come in and say “you sold my dad a boat when I was a kid. We enjoyed that boat for years.” Now they want one to enjoy with their kids. Helping start a lifetime of memories is the greatest reward of this job. Many things have changed, but one thing that has not changed is our total commitment to the Lake Norman Marina customer.” CHRIS FOX Joined Lake Norman Marina in 1999 “I once had a customer tell me in a thank you letter that my sincere concern for their best interests made them feel like they had known me for 20 years! After 9 years of selling boats for Lake Norman Marina, I have many happy customers that I hope to know for a long time. I am a Lake Norman area native, enjoy the sport of boating and truly believe in “the passionate pursuit of perfection.” PETER EHART Joined Lake Norman Marina in 2006 Peter moved to Lake Norman in 2006 along with his wife and two boys. They love it here! After being self-employed for 22 years on Cape Cod, he was ready for a change. Shortly after arriving in North Carolina, Peter was hired by Lake Norman Marina as a sales associate. “Boating creates memories! Whether you’re pulling someone tubing or just hanging out with family and friends, a day of boating will create memories. I think being a part of that is awesome! Here at the marina, the energy, the enthusiasm and the top of the line brands we sell, make everyday very exciting. In my spare time, I enjoy being out on the lake with family and friends.” JUSTIN RAMBO Joined Lake Norman Marina in 2005 Justin has been in the marine industry for nine years. From service technician to fiberglass repair and boat detailing, “I love boats, plain and simple.” Since joining the Lake Norman Marina sales staff in 2006, he feels that “seeing my customers smiling and laughing on the day they get their new boat, it’s an incredible feeling to know that I helped create that.” Delivery Captain Mario Caruso Joined Lake Norman Marina in 2007 “Having enjoyed boating and water sports for most of my life, working for Lake Norman Marina as Delivery Captain and passing on that excitement seemed a natural fit! Both my parents and grandparents are avid outdoorsmen and water sports enthusiasts and have instilled in me the experience needed to accomplish the position of delivery captain. I recently relocated to the Lake Norman region from northeast Ohio and have never looked back. Moving to this area has enabled me to enjoy an extended boating season and the pleasure of working with the finest marina staff on this lake. With the support of this staff and my countless days on the water I am sure that there is no question that cannot be answered. This all said, making a boat purchase can be both exciting and nerve-racking, but as delivery captain I try to make the education and on-water instruction of a new boater as painless and enjoyable as possible.” Marina 1963 lakenormanmarina.com • 704-483-5546 lakenormanmarina.com • 704-483-5546 customer service “at its best” Finance With Us At LAKE NORMAN MARINA we want your experience to be more of a relationship than a transaction.

That is why I am a repeat customer. I have always found their advice trustworthy.The new and expanded showroom will only enhance their services to me and I look forward to future exceptional quality, services and selections.” K.T. Mills Charlotte, NC “Since purchasing our Cobalt 263 from Lake Norman Marina in early 2007, my wife and I have enjoyed many pleasant hours boating with friends on Lake Norman. We have also come to appreciate the quality of the Cobalt product. The boat is very responsive, and handles well in virtually all conditions that we’ve encountered. Its smooth acceleration is immediately noticeable, and its stability when making turns is reassuring. Scheduling servicing of our boat at Lake Norman Marina takes only one brief phone call. And the convenience of having its Service Department directly on the water, only a few miles from our dock, can’t be beat. Our experience with Cobalt and Lake Norman Marina continues to be a very positive one.” Marshall Cary Statesville, NC lakenormanmarina.com • 704-483-5546 Lake Norman Marina works closely with Boaters • Easy Payment Plans Insurance to insure that • Competitive Rates all customers get the best protection they need for • Fast Track Claims Service • Instant Binding Authority their boats.
