Hi, I’m Jackson Smudde, I am 17 years old and the owner and diver behind Barnacle Jack’s. I know I might seem a bit young to be owning my own business, but to be honest I've always had that entrepreneurial spirt inside of me, so to finally have my own business that provides a service people will love and appreciate brings me so much joy. I started this business because I love to work with my hands and on top of that boating is my favorite activity to take part in. I want this business that I'm building to have the reputation of giving a service people can rely on as well as being a company who shows up when promised and completes the job with efficiency and care.
When you hire Barnacle Jack’s, you’re working directly with me. No shortcuts. No guessing. Just dependable, thorough service designed to protect your boat’s performance and keep you out on the water where you belong.
