Mike Jackson
co-owner
Joined the marine industry in late 1989 when I began at Apelco Marine Electronics in Tampa. I have seen so many amazing technologies introduced since then and have met so many amazing people along the way.
The marine industry is a phenomenal place to work and has been a family to me since the late 1980’s. Got lucky and got my foot in the door at one of Raytheon’s divisions, their Marine division as a bench technician for Apelco. My job was to fix and repair Loran C receivers being sent in from customers and answer the phones to help customers as well.
Next, I was lucky enough to get an offer from Furuno USA which I gladly accepted, and joined them in late 1995. Enjoyed the next 7 plus years at Furuno USA advancing up to their South-East Regional Sales Manager.
In late 2003 my son Aaron was born and I decided to resign to be closer to home. It was at this time that I joined High Seas Technology in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. I spent more than the next decade as Manager of their Tampa office until the office was closed.
I spoke with a friend, and we decided together to open our own business and today, after more than 5 years in business, these days I am enjoying owning a company which is doing well, and have recently relocated and established a new location in the Florida Keys.
I also enjoy writing electronics articles for Marlin magazine on the side and try to get offshore fishing when possible and the wind is not blowing too much. Living in the Florida Keys is a paradise with so many things you can do and enjoy!

Started working in the Marine industry as an Installer with High Seas Technology. I knew right away I liked this type of work.
After 15 years I am happy to be someone who can say that I still enjoy going to work everyday.
Avid fisherman, scuba diver and also motor cross enthusiast. I like to get out on the boat when the weather permits to enjoy the fresh air and family time. Quality time with friends and family.
