Savvyboater.com has brought together a top-shelf team of employees and partners with deep roots in the marine supply industry and an eye for the cutting edge advantages today’s technology has to offer.

As a quick introduction, my name is Loren and I’m the Ecommerce Manager for SavvyBoater.com. While I was growing up, my dad fished a dory out of Pacific City, Oregon. I caught my first Salmon when I was three and could tie a salmon leader before I could tie my shoes. (That always baffled my mom, but I guess I just had my eye on the important stuff.) When I was in grade school, we moved to Missoula, Montana and I got a chance to fish Georgetown and Flathead lakes. We also made frequent ice fishing trips to Nine Pipes and I learned the rudiments of fly fishing.

After a couple years in Montana, my dad bought a shrimp trawler in Newport, Oregon and it was back to the coast. I earned pocket money splicing chaffing gear and helping maintain the nets. A couple years later we bought a Gulf Shrimper in Pensacola, Florida and had it retrofit in Mobile, Alabama. I got a chance to crew it down the coast of Central America, through the Panama Canal and up to Newport, Oregon. During my college summers I was a Puller on the 90' trawler as we roamed the Pacific Coast and Bering Sea fishing for Hake or Sole.

My commercial fishing days are well behind me. My father is retired and from time-to-time I get to join him as he chases Kokanee and big Browns in the lakes of central Oregon. My wife and I both enjoy fishing and boating, whether it's knocking around on a friend's ski boat, drifting for salmon and steelhead or flyfishing the Deschutes

For the past 10 years I’ve been assisting various companies in leverage the Internet to provide real value to their customers. When the President of SavvyBoater.com asked me to join his team, how could I say no?

Through this blog, the SavvyBoater crew and I will keep you posted on what’s going on at SavvyBoater.com, introduce you to new and interesting products we come across, and share what we learn from the manufacturers, marine industry leaders and fellow sportsmen with whom we're privileged to talk.
