How it All Began
Totalboat's Story
Born from experience
Mike Mills built his first boat at eight years old, with his dad. He learned early that putting in hard work paid off – but wondered if the work had to be THAT hard. He continued to build & repair boats and surfboards while he went on to receive All American honors in sailing, and to claim the 505 World Champion title as a young adult.
He saw firsthand that having the right products for the job gave you an edge (and that marine products hadn’t changed much since he was eight).
Anchored in Marine Heritage
Mike went on to work for (and later run) Jamestown Distributors – a New England-based leader in the marine industry. He worked in the store, picked and packed orders, and worked in the call center, where he spoke to thousands of customers about their projects and the products they were using.
