Brooks Busey’s upbringing along the St. Johns River shaped his early years, where he gained practical experience working in local marinas and boatyards during his summers. Following his graduation from Stetson University with a business degree in 1999, he embarked on a full-time career in the marine industry. In 2001, Brooks acquired Sadler Point Marina, where he dedicated over two decades to enhancing its service operations. In 2022, Brooks joined the Windward team, merging Sadler Point Marina with neighboring marina, Ortega River Marina. This led to expanding the combined operations to encompass 176 slips and incorporating Sadler’s established service business. Brooks is a former board member of the St. Johns Riverkeeper, The Florida Yacht Club and The Jacksonville Commodores League.
