Kim

Marketing

Kim is a northern Michigan native who calls Boyne City home after returning to the area from a two year venture in Grand Rapids. She brings to the table an extensive background in graphic design, print, direct mail and marketing…all of which were learned through on the job experiences. Graduating with an Associates Degree in Business from NCMC in Petoskey, Michigan, Kim went right to work in the field of commercial printing as a project coordinator and as a necessary aside to that position, is self taught in the area of graphic design. Her first design job over 30 years ago was for Van Dam Custom Boats’ build – Patrician. You could say she has come full circle in her career. Website design/management and photography have been added to her portfolio since joining Van Dam and she is enjoying the challenge of learning new things.

When asked what she likes about being a part of Van Dam, she says, “The energy. The constant, positive, upward energy and the love of the craft. Coming to work is a joy, not a chore. I spend my days with some of the most amazing people on the planet.”

In her free time Kim and her husband love boating, road trips and spending time with their large, blended family.
