ABOUT US

Ryan was born in Branson, MO and grew up boating and swimming on Table Rock Lake. His first summer job was in the family business at the campground at Port of Kimberling. He began by simply patrolling for trash at age 9 and by age 18 was handling management duties at What’s Up Dock. After a few years of college at Missouri State University, he returned to the family business. Ryan, along with his wife, Tracy, represent the third generation of family ownership and management at the Port of Kimberling. He enjoys living on the lake and sharing the lake lifestyle with his wife, son & daughter.

Has been with American Water Sports since 2011 and lived around American Water Sports all of his life. His lifetime of boating experiences along side his vast amount of product knowledge has made him a true asset to our team over the years. Joe has three children and resides in Kimberling City.

Jason has always loved water, growing up in San Diego and playing in the surf. He discovered his passion for personal water craft in 1991 and raced from 1997 to 2007. Living in Lake Havasu from 2002-2004 solidified his love for boating. He bought his first boat in 2002 and learned how to dock it at night when no one was watching. In Kimberling City, he started a charter business while also working various jobs on the lake. For the past 8 years, he has been doing private charters and running a successful remodeling business for 34 years. Jason also served as a firefighter for Southern Stone County. Currently, he owns two boats - one for late-night bowfishing and one for daytime adventures on the lake where he loves to wakeboard and explore different coves or restaurants with his wife, kids, family, and friends. He believes that spending time on his boats is the best way to enjoy life.

Lee has been a member of the service industry for almost 30 years, spending his time working on almost anything under the sun. He started working on lawn mowers as a kid and moved on to custom cars and diesel trucks. Moving from the automotive to the marine industry allowed him to spend more time with his son and daughter out on the lake in his classic 1979 Chris Craft. Lee can be found at our Shell Knob location managing the service department and helping keep hundreds of boats afloat on Table Rock Lake! You can contact Lee at Lee@TableRockBoats.com

Logan has been around boats since he can remember, growing up in a small town in Southwest Kansas. Currently, he is in his junior year at Kansas State University, studying Entrepreneurship and Management. Logan's love for boats and the water led him to spend his summers working at marinas on Table Rock Lake. With 3 summers of experience, he has gained extensive knowledge of the water and boats. His favorite part of the lake is spending time with his friends and family.

Hey there! I’m Braden Smith, and I’m excited to share a bit about myself with you. Since 2008, I’ve been soaking up the sun and making memories on Table Rock Lake every summer. There’s just something special about that place—it’s where I fell in love with everything from the thrill of wakeboarding to the chill vibes of fishing and hanging out with friends. Those lake days are truly the best!

My family has been all about MasterCraft boats since 2010. I’ve seen firsthand how these amazing boats can transform a day on the water into an unforgettable experience. That’s why I’m thrilled to be part of the American Water Sports crew! I jumped on board in the fall of 2022, and I’m here to help you find the perfect boat for your adventures.

Whether you’re a seasoned boater or new to the lake scene, I’m here to guide you through the process of finding the perfect boat that suits your lifestyle. Let’s chat and make your lake days something you’ll look forward to every year! I can’t wait to help you get out on the water and start creating your own amazing memories!

Will was born and raised in Rogers, Arkansas and has spent more than half of his life on this beautiful lake. Growing up, his parents lived just down the street from the marina, which gave him the perfect opportunity to experience the lake life and create some amazing memories. Wakeboarding and surfing have always been his go-to water sports, and still loves them to this day. Will joined American Water Sports in 2023 and he couldn't be more excited to be a part of such a great company and team.

I grew up in beautiful northern Utah, but my heart has always been drawn to Table Rock Lake and the Branson area—I’ve been coming here since the late '80s! Water has been a huge part of my life; I’ve been water skiing since I could walk and picked up wakeboarding when I was just 12. Now, I’m passing that love down to my four kids—three girls and one boy—who are all about embracing the lake life just like me! In 2015, I made the move to Shell Knob, where I started working with Table Rock Boats (now American Water Sports), and in 2017, I settled in Rogers. With over a decade of experience in customer service and automotive service, I’ve gained a wealth of knowledge that I love bringing to the marine world. I’m genuinely happy to be back at American Water Sports. I’m passionate about everything automotive and marine, and I thrive on the thrill of going fast—whether it’s on land or water. My goal as your service manager is to ensure that your boating experience is as smooth as possible, so you can focus on what really matters: making memories on the water with your loved ones. I can’t wait to help you keep your boat running great so you can enjoy every moment out on the lake!
