Thomas R Sulentic: I spent the first 35 years of my professional life in Corporate America starting as a sales rep in theMidwest ending up as the president of a Fortune 100 division on the east coast. I’ve had the opportunity to be involved in the marketing and promotion of some of the country’s most recognized and trusted brands, such as Craftsman and Black & Decker. My boating experience started early in my life, spending time on my father’s house boat on the Mississippi River in the upper mid-west. I purchased my first boat in 1995 and quickly fell in love with power boating in the Newportarea. In 2004, I retired to follow my passion for boating and started my own Yacht Sales and Brokerage Company inNewport, RI. I am licensed to do business both in RI and FL. I specialize in 40-85 foot luxury cruising & sport fish yachts but will get involved in other quality yachts for customers. Recently, I had the good fortune to be become a principal in Apreamare Yachts LLC to operate the Apreamare Yachts Boutique – Newport, located at the Goat Island Marina. I look forward to sharing my experience with others through the sales and marketing of the Apreamare and Maestro lines in theUS.
