A WORD FROM THE FOUNDER: THE C|Y|G MISSION STATEMENT
“The Ocean(s) stirs the heart, inspires the imagination, and brings eternal joy to the soul!” – Wyland
MISSION STATEMENT
The Chicago Yacht Guru (C|Y|G) mission statement is to provide unique original content in a professional and entertaining methodology utilizing different social media platforms to ensure an on-going positive community experience.
Global Navigators, Welcome!
The lakes! The Seas! The Oceans! They all cast a spell on me exceedingly early in my life! The VOICE OF THE SEA spoke to my SOUL! THE CAPTAIN and the C|Y|G Research team would like to offer a glimpse into the fantastic material the ENTIRE TEAM would like to bring you daily. The team’s initial response? A BLANK CANVAS! NO RESTRICTIONS! Our passion here at C|Y|G includes all the waterways the world has to offer! But there is so much more associated with the boating and yacht industry that we want to start each day with a BLANK CANVAS! That “BLANK CANVAS” will provide the C|Y|G team the ability for self-expression, the real ability to connect and have engaging posts regarding industry news, marinas, products, people, lifestyle and so much more! What does this mean to you? Daily posts that connect on so many different levels! All in a means to openly discuss the PASSIONATE ELEMENTS of “Pursuing Open Waters!” We believe the Oceans and the Waterways cure the soul, brighten our outlooks and provide positive health benefits! Let’s “PURSUE OPEN WATERS” together and in the process “MAKE WAVES!”
The C|Y|G Team
Founding Member: MICHAEL J. BURKHOLDER
The Maestro of the Orchestra!
When asked to coordinate the fascinating pieces of the puzzle and bring it all together – the response? How can anybody refuse the opportunity?
THE CAPTAIN provides the overall “BLANK CANVAS” direction. The C|Y|G Research Team provides the intense and in-depth analysis and content. The Founding Member sits back and makes sure there is enough K-Cups to keep the team energized!
