Don Stouder
Term Expiring 9/2012

At a young age, Don's family spent summer vacations boating on lakes in Michigan, Kentucky and Indiana. He always enjoyed boating and after college, purchased his first boat, a Hobie 14. Sailing on smaller lakes, he learned the ropes, met Carol who also enjoyed the water, and they moved up to a Cal 24. Sailing the western portion of Lake Erie, they moved up twice eventually settling on a Catalina 34. For this year they are changing again, trying their hands on a 34 Mainship powerboat they currently own and base out of West Harbor on Catawba Island.

Don attended the University of Toledo and has been involved in sales throughout his career, becoming National Account Manager for two fortune 500 companies. Being members of MBIYC since 2003, he and Carol previously served as Entertainment Chairs for two years. Don served as Rear Commodore (2009-2010), Vice Commodore (2010-2011) and is currently serving as Commodore.

Recently moving from Cleveland to Port Clinton, Don has retired and he and Carol plan to spend more time on the water along with helping to grow the new MBIYC.
