Brent Ballard, Vice President

   Brent's first boating experience started at the age of three months while accompanying his parents on an oyster gathering trip. He has been living on the water ever since. In fact, all of his employment activities have been water oriented starting as a dock hand at the local marina, as a mate on an offshore head boat out of Murrells Inlet and mate on a tug boat in Georgetown prior to joining Tailwalker Marine, Inc. An accomplished inshore and offshore angler as well as tournament winner, Brent is also an avid hunter. The wide variety of boating experience he has achieved enables Brent to help you make the best buying decision for your individual needs, whether fishing or hunting.
