COEUR d'ALENE — Lindsey Olmstead of the Hagadone Marine Group has been named to Boating Industry’s “Top 40 Under 40.”

Boating Industry’s annual recognition program of strong young leaders in the marine industry shines a spotlight on a unique group of individuals leading the pack.

Selected from hundreds of nominations from across the industry, this year’s group features young professionals blazing trails of success from all segments of the marine industry, from boat dealers to manufacturers and everything in between.

Olmstead has been with Hagadone Marine Group for four years. She is responsible for managing The Boardwalk Marina, Resort Boat Rentals, The Marina Cantina and Silver Beach Marina.

“I am beyond honored to have been selected as one of top 40 within the industry,” she said. “From deckhand to dockmaster, the marine industry has afforded me so many opportunities. I’m proud to bring my passion to work everyday at Hagadone Marine Group, under the leadership of Craig Brosenne. I hope to mentor our team of young professionals so they can see the endless potential in this ever-evolving industry!”

Olmstead works at Hagadone Marine Group with her husband, Ethan, who is a marine service technician. They welcomed twin girls to the world in September 2021.

In the Boating Industry report, Olmstead wrote: "The marine industry is a special one. Not only is it endlessly connected with so many various career paths, but also the opportunities are endless and there is always something new to learn and grow from. The earth is covered in 71% water and everything in the world is connected by water — commercially and recreationally, the marine industry is intertwined with human life since the invention of the first canoe. The industry is growing exponentially and will never go away, only evolve!"
