Meet our Service Department

	Roger Peterson-Service Manager service@foxchapelmarine.com 412.967.1500 ext. 201 or 412.287.9165 It all started when I was 12 years old with the passion to water-ski and to enjoy the boating way of life.  Buying my first boat when I turned 18 years of age and having 2 foot-itis for years after that, continued the drive to be in the business.  I started working in the marine industry in 1983 because of my love for boats and people, that's what it is all about.  I came onboard with Fox Chapel in January of 1993 during the Pittsburgh Boat Show.  Working with fellow boaters has been a fabulous experience and a fun job to enjoy.

	Pat Nuzzo Taylor-Parts Manager pat@foxchapelmarine.com 412.967.1500 ext. 202 Boating has been an important part of my life since 1962 when my Dad started his marina along the Allegheny River.  Growing up in a marina has given me a lifelong appreciation of the pleasures and enjoyment boating brings to those who live and love the boating life.  Fishing, pleasure boating, waterskiing, tubing, camping, boat racing and spending every possible minute on the river has been some of the greatest times of my life.  Over the years, I've done almost every job there is in a marina from swinging docks and pumping gas to washing boat bottoms and managing a service department.  I joined Fox Chapel in 2006 as the Parts Manager and I've enjoyed the opportunity to spend every day working with the people who love boating.  I love my work because it's true; boaters are some of the best people in the world!
	Ray Svestka-Service Writer ray@foxchapelmarine.com 412.967.1500 ext. 217 I have always loved water, especially the sea and the Great Lakes.  During the Cold War, I served in the Navy in submarines, then in the Army, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry).  Returning to a more familiar realm (the deep!), I became a commercial diver.  For 17 years I worked as a diving supervisor, from Maine to Florida and from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Coast, most of the time in cold, low- to zero-visibility water, supervising teams of divers doing underwater mechanical work, construction and other diving work.  For a little over two years, I did underwater logging in Lake Ontario & the St. Lawrence River, before coming to Pittsburgh to do underwater construction on the Braddock Dam, and underwater inspection work, taking underwater still photos and video and writing detailed inspection written reports.  For a few years, I worked as an application engineer for an air compressor company, did emergency oxygen service and electronics work before coming to Fox Chapel Marine at the end of summer 2011.  It's nice to be back in my own element, the marine world!
