When Bud LeMieux was a boy, he began building boats as a hobby and had constructed six vessels before finishing high school, starting with an eight-foot pram and ending with an eighteen-foot power catamaran. He continued his hobby into adulthood, pursuing it part-time as he sampled college and found employment at a great-paying job.
But Bud wasn't happy at his job. His passion remained elsewhere. So, he did what few of us are brave enough to do and left his good paying job with full benefits, determined to build boats not as a hobby, but as a career.
The Road of a Boat Builder Start to End chronicles Bud's journey from boyhood dreams to adult success as one of the world's most celebrated boat builders and recognized boat-building entrepreneurs. Full of down-to-earth insight, humor, and hope, it's a must-read for anyone who's ever wanted to head down a road less traveled.
About the Author: Bud LeMieux is a self-taught boat builder and entrepreneur who has built hundreds of boats from eight-foot prams to 152-foot yachts. Several of his vessels have won prestigious worldwide awards. He currently serves on a college advisory board for the boat building Center of Excellence in the Pacific Northwest.
As for his formal education, LeMieux made it all the way through high school and went to college for a bit, only to leave when he discovered that the course of study would lead him on a path he did not necessarily want to take. Putting academia behind him, he went to work and taught himself what he needed to know to get ahead. He has made quite a name for himself in the boating-building world.
