Meet the Team
Meet the New Bern Grand Marina Staff:
Jon Dodge - Dock Master
Jon grew up in the Midwest in Springfield, OH. Being an avid boater in his youth, Jon knew that he would one day be “messing about boats”. Jon has over 20+ years of boating experience and offers in-depth knowledge of the operational aspects of managing a large marina. In the early part of his career, Jon was an educator and taught Social Studies and English. Later in his career, he worked for a pharmaceutical company for several years. His recent relocation back to New Bern helped Jon to fulfill his leisure dream of returning to New Bern with his wife.
Mack Epps - Assistant Dock Master
Mack lived in the midwest most of his life and decided to settle in North Carolina to enjoy North Carolina's beautiful climate. Mack has over 25+ years of boating experience and has been enjoying the water life for decades. A former business owner, Mack owned and operated multiple gyms after his pro-wrestling career. If you've met Mack, you know he's a gentle giant and we sure are happy he's joined our team.
