Jennifer and Ron Meng started Islands Marine Center in 1972 out of the trunk of their car. In 2004, they started their own boat line, the Ocean Sport Roamer. Following Ron's passing in 2013, Jennifer has continued to captain the ship here at IMC. Today, both Islands Marine Center and Ocean Sport Boats are flourishing businesses.
If you've been an IMC client before, you've probably worked with Tim in any number of capacities - he's done it all! He started in 2005 as IMC's Yamaha Technician, in 2013 he became Sales Manager, now he's at the IMC helm as General Manager. He's rarely far from the docks, but when he does get away you'll find him out fishing with his wife and three kids.
Always helpful, Shelley is here to answer your questions! She loves to travel and finds true joy spending time with her grandkids.

Lesley has worked in the Sales Department at IMC since 1999 - she's the one WE all go to with our questions! But if you want to see someone glow with pride, ask about her daughter's equestrian accomplishments - Lesley loves to watch her ride dressage

Chris started working at IMC in 2010 as a Detailer/Harbor Master. Chris quickly transitioned to the Service Department where he trained to become a Yamaha Technician. As you can tell, Chris is a man of many talents, but don't forget to add lead guitarist of the rock band Rocktopus to the list.
