Exciting Changes for Sisler and Inman

A new position was created among the ranks at TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale recently. Captain Cole Sisler has been a familiar face on a bright red tow boat for many years assisting boaters on the waterways in and around Broward County. His skill in towing boats is only rivaled by his innate ability to connect with people and make their bad days a bit brighter. “This ability” Stated Barney Hauf, Director of Sales “is what sparked our interest in creating a position where Cole could use those talents to spread the word about our unique brand of skill, professionalism and service to a broader base of customers. In Cole’s new role as Senior Captain and Marketing Assistant, he remains a key player in day to day towing and salvage operations. In addition to these responsibilities, he will head the company’s Social Media program and spend time visiting partners at local marina’s, boatyards, dealers and other boating related retail businesses. Cole’s firsthand knowledge of the value of our services will allow him to easily communicate the benefits of membership to all that he comes in contact with”

Russell Inman is a veteran of the Towing and Salvage Industry. With nearly 20 years of experience, he brings a wealth of skill and knowledge to his new position. Russ was recently promoted to the position of Supervisor at TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale.  Russ started his career as a deckhand on TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale’s 96’ OSV Richard L. Becker. Over nearly a decade, he worked hard, earned his USCG Masters License and steadily progressed to positions of greater responsibility within the company.  When he was promoted to a Patrol captain in 2009, it quickly became evident that he had an incredible passion for salvage work which continues to this very day. This passion led him away from TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale for about 7 years.  He spent this time honing his towing and salvage skills and traveling all over the country working on tricky salvage jobs and gaining experience. To the delight of the whole crew, Russell returned to TowBoatU.S. Ft. Lauderdale in 2019 and quickly progressed from being a patrol Captain to the position he currently holds.

Congratulations and best of luck to both of these guys. When you see them around town, know that they are among the best of the best!
