Started a beach equipment rental company after noticing a lack of services available in the Jacksonville Beach area. Purchase equipment such as chairs, umbrellas, bikes, surfboards, volleyball equipment and developed relationships with the local hotels and property management companies. We supplied the equipment to visitors and vacationers of the beaches. The company was profitable the first year and due to its fast growth it needed someone to focus full-time attention on managing that growth. The company was sold in June 2010 to a local Jacksonville Beach couple and they are taking the company to new heights.
