He earned his undergraduate degree from Glasgow University and was already experienced in boat building and repair before moving to the United States in 1962.

Since that time Brodie has kept Concordia adapting and developing to meet the demands of changing times. Recognizing that customer satisfaction is the critical driving force behind successful service companies, Brodie has made customer service a main priority, taking into consideration how the company can effectively accommodate the special needs of each customer and boat we service. Recently, Brodie's focus has been upgrading the boatyard facilities and further developing his team of professionals. He is truly committed to the success of the boatyard and can be found here hard at work nearly everyday year-round.
