“We’re aligned in our vision to develop the preeminent platform to better serve the needs of recreational boating enthusiasts, and it’s clear that Terry’s in-depth experience and passion for boating will help take Marine Concepts to the next stage,” Kanbrick co-founder Tracy Britt Cool said in a statement.
