His company also established a Vancouver
Island subsidiary called Clear
Advantage PPE that serves two purposes:
it generates more PPE product and
helps cut through the COVID-related
red tape that can ensue when he crosses
the border to see his Canadian wife.
Though the couple has been married
three years, and each person has dual
citizenship, she remains in Canada to
optimize the country's health-care benefi
ts while Keeler lives in the U.S. to be
close to work.
Even at the start of the pandemic,
however, Oyster Creek continued making
marine products in anticipation of
future demand.
" It was unknown what was happening
and when this thing was going to end, so
we concentrated on where we want to be
when this ends, " Keeler explains of his
business strategy.
Riding the wave of demand
It's a good thing Oyster Creek kept moving
full steam ahead with marine fabrication
because these days Keeler describes sales
as " through the roof " as affl uent clients
continue to embrace boating.
His primary customer base? Custom
boat manufacturers, boat brokers and
high-end boaters based in northwest
Washington or the San Juan Islands.
" These are million-dollar boats-
they're not cheap, " he confi rms. " The
custom builders we work for are years
out on their orders. Talking to dealers and
brokers, they've never seen anything like
this. We're scheduling six or seven months
out, and normally it would be like three. "
