Portrait Photography + Interview

One of my favorite on-going projects for Jarrett Bay Boatworks is the Employee Spotlights. Every month a new employee is chosen to be highlighted. Sometimes they are long time employees with a lot of experience and sometimes they are brand new. I usually spend 5 minutes talking with them about their job and advice for the next generation of boat builders. I end by grabbing a few portraits of them. This month we interviewed Ed Campbell and his advice was worth sharing.

"Before coming to Jarrett Bay, I spent 40 years teaching industrial arts in high school, where I helped students learn how to work with their hands. Working alongside the talented team at Jarrett Bay, seeing them shape wood into something functional and beautiful, reminds me of why I loved teaching. I truly feel blessed to be a small part of this team. My advice to the younger generation would be to take pride in what you do, keep your sense of humor and appreciate the people you work with—it makes all the difference."
