Having started The American Tug story was the creation of Tomco Marine Group by founder and director Tom Nelson who collaborated with Lynn Senour, an accredited West Coast Marine architect. Tom and Lynn built wooden boats in Seattle. Tom, a young apprentice, continued proving himself in the shop and at one point, was made president of a boat yard. His company was founded a couple years later—named Nelson Yacht Corporation, he was building 70–90 foot custom yachts. Next on the timeline, was when Tom became President of Nordic Tugs which then turned into his developing Tomco Marine Group!
Alaskan born and President of Tomco Marie Group, Mike Schoppert, headed to the Pacific Northwest and attended Western Washington University. Uniflite Corporation was where he learned the necessary skills he would go on to using. Chris-Craft and Tolly Craft were also put on his resume but then he ended up at Oceanus, the spot where his tooling process was born and it’s facility with the ability to produce the fiberglass components for Zodiac. Mike went from the lamination department to general manager of Nordic Tugs prior to joining Tomco Marine Group.
The vice-president of Tomco Marine Group, Kurt Dilworth, also has a heart for boating starting out with Chambers Craft in the late 80’s and in the early 90’s, the remodeling of the company as Premier Boats. What’s under his belt? Well, several years of engineering at the local community college and the University of Washington along with a two-year apprenticeship on a conversion of a steel tug turned private yacht, he took a position with Nordic Tugs as a mechanic where his tasks spanned from installing engines, electrical systems to plumbing. He excelled to come to take on the head positions and, as they grew, held the position of Head Engineer as well as a newly developed warranty/customer service position.
So, the brains beyond these sturdy yet sweet in style Tugboats—Tom, Mike, and Kurt, seem to compliment each other’s leadership skills. With the formation of Tomco Marine Group, their expertise and steadfastness was poured into each of these pleasure tugs you are sure to appreciate for their true seaworthy design and superb craftsmanship.
