You can't have lived around the lake too long without visiting, or at least hearing of, Crowe Marine! This business is a great story, a multi-generational local business that has been around since the 1950's. Keith Phillips is the General Manager and we'll talk about the fascinating history of the business, its unlikely start from a sign shop in East Point, GA, and its growth into one of the best known and well respected dealers around! We talk about their concerns as the pandemic and lockdown began, and how that actually turned into a huge opportunity for growth, but not without its share of unforeseen problems!
We also dive into Keith's interesting life, growing up in a small town, loving sports and cars, and how gymnastics took his family from small town life to the big city life in Watkinsville!
You'll hear about his twin daughters, both extremely talented gymnasts, how they became the family's "north star" guiding their lives and careers into gymnastics. And then finally, the story of Keith's opportunity at Crowe Marine and how they were ultimately "lured" to the lake!

Lure of the Lake
Lake Oconee, Georgia, located halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, is a man-made paradise with incredible beauty that makes it a great vacation destination for people of all ages. More than that, though, it's a community for those that are looking for a peaceful life filled with nature and beauty.
I, myself, am a member of that community. I moved to Reynolds in 2020 and started to hear the incredible stories of its residents. Join me, now, as we take a plunge into some fascinating stories of the many well-lived lives of our community and learn why they were Lured to the Lake.
