While out cruising Mexico, Rich founded Cruise RO Watermakers and over the years became known for providing the best customer service and support in the marine industry. Success is oftentimes a magnet for like minded companies that provide industry leading product and customer service, giving Rich the opportunity to partner with Schenker Watermakers, Frigomar Air conditioning, and OzeFridge Marine Refrigeration. Rich is the United States and Mexico Distributor for Schenker Watermakers, Western United States and Mexico Distributor for Frigomar Air Conditioning and The North American Distributor for Ozefridge Marine Refrigeration.
