My Brilliant Career: Setting a New Course

Boating, you might say, is in Jeff Lichterman’s blood. He spent his summers growing up on the shore of Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey and cut his teeth on his father’s 17-foot runabout. Lichterman developed such a passion for boating that he eventually sent a letter to the president of Concord Yachts asking for the rights to open a local dealership. He was 11 years old at the time.
