MEET Mark Slimack Born and raised in upstate New York, Mark’s parents decided Fort Lauderdale, Florida was THE place to be, so they up and moved here in 1969. Mark was 15 years old at the time, and never having spent much time in or on the ocean, Mark was lucky enough to be invited by a new found friend to spend most of his first summer here aboard their yacht cruising the Bahamas. It was a life changing event to say the least! Mark has lived in South Florida ever since. He purchased the first of many boats in 1979 and has been serving the boating community in all manner of new boat and brokerage yacht sales since early 1983. Mark spent almost 14 years with Marine Max, where he gained exposure to a variety of brands including Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Ferretti and Hatteras. In between, he spent two years working with an importer of offshore yachts. Later in his career, he formed his own yacht brokerage, Champion Yachts, which he spearheaded for almost 9 years before deciding to become part of the team at Denison. Mark is married to his college sweetheart, has one daughter, Donica, and two grandchildren - Bronson and Riley Ann. He also loves to scuba and play guitar.
