How did you begin your career at The Waterfront?
A few years ago I found my way to Eckerd College via Aquaglide. The Waterfront staff immediately welcomed me and knew that I must be the new face of the program. Since then it has been more popular than ever.
What is your favorite part about your job?
Well, besides gettin’ money, I love to watch all of the students enjoying the events I tell them to attend. My social networking skills are unparalleled.
What is your favorite Waterfront activity?
Chasing the waterfront cat, Shadow. Shadow has wanted to be the face of the Waterfront for many years, but we both know that I am the best for the job. That cat’s jealousy is entertaining.
What is your favorite Waterfront event?
Sinko de Mayo is by far my favorite event that the waterfront hosts. I love watching the Mr. Waterfront competition and the ladies in bikinis.
What is something students don’t take advantage of at the Waterfront?
Not enough students take the reduced price course in sailing at the Waterfront. This course is so cool because it allows you to take out almost all of the boats at the Waterfront for the rest of your life!
What makes a good waterfront employee?
Someone who is personable and friendly, much like myself. They must be a hard worker and motivated to get the jobs done. The Waterfront has a zero tolerance policy for wimps.
What is your favorite sea creature?
The Hermit Crab. It’s fun to watch them eat the shrimp I feed them in the tank at the Waterfront.
If you could be stranded on an Aquaglide in Frenchman’s creek with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
Renee Register. She’s a gem.
