Drew Tinker taking a position at Mastercraft

[MJHSupra]

Read on social media today (and Drew announced it on his personal Facebook page), that he was leaving Skiers Choice and taking a Business Development Manager position at MasterCraft Boats.

Drew was very active on the Supra and Moomba Owners FBook page helping owners get questions answered or finding a person to speak to. A few of you might have met him giving factory tours in his spare time.

Anyway, Best of luck Drew. Thanks for all of your SUPRA help!!

Dang. I've never had direct contact with him but have read plenty of his posts and have always appreciated his knowledge and willingness to help all of us out. Good luck to him!

Is Rick Tinker the majority owner of Skier's Choice? Perhaps I'm wrong, but it would be odd for Drew to leave if his family is part of the private ownership.

got lucky enough to call the plant a few years ago and was transferred to drew to answer my questions. spoke to him for 15 minutes or so. great chat and seemed like a good guy.

wonder if the old man is getting ready to sell his stake and the kid is jumping ship prepping for new leadership with a new co-owner?? he came up through MC iirc many years ago so kind of a "like father like son" thing?? maybe skiers is about to be folded into MC?? rumors have to start somewhere :)

time will tell why he's leaving.

Never know with a private company. Assured there is a plan. Everyone gets older and environments change over time - retirements or sales or reorgs, etc . . .
All I can say working for software companies, going from private to public > IT SUCKED.
Corporate culture changes for employees and the customers suffered in the long run with new management and decisions. Previous owners ride off into the sunset.
