Jeff Erdmann

Jeff is a fact based executive who worked tirelessly to achieve passage of the sales tax bill on boat purchases in the Florida legislator. He is passionate about working on behalf of the marine industry and would enjoy being part of a committee again with Jeff. He has my full support for the legislative affairs chair position.

Jeff provided the technical expertise, unwavering dedication and commitment to a challenging state tax policy legislative issue. His leadership was pivotal in the ultimately successful passage of the sales tax cap on yacht sales. Jeff was able to understand and navigate the legislative process and present the marine industry to policymakers, staff and the Administration--raising the profile of FYBA and the role it can play within the broader marine industry and Florida's economy.

Jeff's efforts to achieve a tax cap on the sales of brokerage boats in Florida have been remarkable. His tenacity, coupled with a sharp mind and tireless energy, assured the success of his team's efforts in Tallahassee. Jeff is to be highly recommended for his outstanding leadership in this effort which will ultimately generate millions of revenue dollars for the State of Florida and for the marine industry of which we are both part of.

Jeff is a passionate advocate for the marine industry and all of the people it employs. Jeff entered the legislative arena as an admitted novice and through his hard work, disciplined study and attention to detail became a resource many look to for the yacht brokerage industry. It was a pleasure to work with Jeff and many of the same qualities that make him such a successful businessman make him a popular and effective leader for the industry in Tallahassee.

Jeff is a unique person that can ware many hats and do a variety of jobs extremely well. He has been very effective with his company, serving on the FYBA Board of Directors and particularly effective dealing with Florida State legislative affairs on behalf of the marine industry. I know Jeff professionally and highly recommend him.
