He will lead Brig USA’s recreational Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) division as well as Fluid Marine’s Patrol, Search and Rescue (SAR) and Swift Water Rescue (SWR) boat sales and production.
Carl joins Brig and Fluid as the company aims to expand its market reach, providing Brig recreational RHIBs via nationwide dealers and Fluid patrol boats to state, local and federal agencies, commercial clients and space recovery agencies across the US.
He joins the company with 30 years of experience, particularly in designing and manufacturing semi-custom production boats.
Carl has also founded multiple businesses in various industries including boat manufacturing and boat dealerships.
He played a key role with several boating manufacturers, including Streamline R, Jupiter Marine and Blackfin Yacht Corporation.
“I’m really excited to take on this new role, and support both Brig’s and Fluid’s continued growth,” he said.
“For Fluid, making sure our police and firefighters are safe on the water, while they serve their communities, is a significant priority, and one I look forward to continuing.”
Fluid’s boats range in size from 13ft to 36ft and feature Hypalon tubes, law enforcement equipment, and are available via a variety of government contracting vehicles.
“We will continue to focus on the performance and quality with our boats,” added Carl.
