Jed Dickman

General Manager

Since serving in the Coast Guard, Jed has managed Herrington Harbour South and Shipwright Harbor marinas. He is excited about working with this staff and contributing to the success of HYH so that slipholders and service customers have a wonderful boating experience. “HYH is a unique marina, steeped in history and unlike any other marina in our area.” His favorite element of working at marinas are the slipholders. “Marina’s are unique because they are a relationship-oriented business. We get the opportunity to really know slipholders year after year.” When not at work, Jed enjoys boating with his family and coaching his daughter’s soccer teams.

Leanne has been boating on the bay since the mid-1990s and has made several trips into the turquoise waters of the Bahamas. Asked what she likes most about working at HYH, Leanne says, “The history, the small-town feel, and the simplicity.

Harbormaster

Water has been a major part of my life, as I am sure it’s been an important part of yours as well. I grew up in Kentucky and spent nearly every day as a child fossil hunting, fishing, catching snakes, bugs, and other critters to study, but my favorite memories are of boating. Spending time with my family while arguing over who is better at catching fish and listening to stories from my grandparents were always the highlight of my weekends. Throughout my life, I have been involved in many industries including retail and sales management, steel mills, kitchen jobs, and even insurance sales but the marina industry has had the biggest impact on me personally. Working with the Chaney family and seeing their dedication to preserving the Chesapeake Bay, its unique culture, and the people connected to the Bay has made lasting impacts on every aspect of my life.

I have spent the last 10 years of my life working with Herrington Harbour North where I started as a yacht center yard hand. During my time at Herrington Harbour North, I have worked in every area of the business. Travelift operator, tow boat captain, event coordinator, project development & management, IT Support, social media content creation, marketing & branding, and even interior design. The most rewarding part of my job has been creating exciting new amenities and ways for people to have fun during their time at the marina.
