Doug Hoogs has partners in providing management services. One is William Waite.  William brings to the YMS Team a common blend of in-depth expertise in Superyacht shipbuilding and shipyard operations, sophisticated "Business Management & Production Management Systems" relevant to the world of Superyachts, the practice of law, as it relates to such, and specialized marketing orchestration, which has been accumulated after over 30 years in the yachting industry and in the legal profession.

William grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and graduated in 1970 with a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from the Emory Law School in Atlanta and has been a member of the Bar since then.  During the 1970's and early 1980's, William served in the U.S. Air Force as a non-uniformed agent during the Vietnam War, returned to Atlanta to engage in fulltime law practice and specialized in small corporate practice and related civil litigation.  In 1980 and in pursuit of one of his passions, William founded and operated for over a decade Windship Yachts in Tampa, Florida, a high tech, luxury Superyacht builder that grew from nothing to some 250 highly qualified artisans and became thought of as one of the top five yards in the world for large, luxury sailing yachts.  In 1997, William along with Ann Morrow, his founding partner in Windship Yachts, formed Waite & Morrow Associates, a highly specialized, boutique yacht management consulting and marketing organization in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, which firm has offered customized management consulting and marketing programs to a wide variety of industry segments.  Ann is also a graduate of Emory Law School with a Doctorate of Jurisprudence and was an operating principle at every stage of developing Windship Yachts.  Between the two of them, they have been involved in the creation and hands-on, on-the-street, execution of almost every operating function or department that is required to successfully operate a shipyard business, along with the marketing, promotion, brokerage and sales of superyachts.  Additionally, their business and legal expertise provide a precise and controlled guiding perspective to all management services provided.

Doug also has a partner named Tim Kings. Please see a brief view of Tim's history below:

Tim is a very gifted and talented yacht designer and builder. He has owned and operated his own shipyard and over the years he has constructed some remarkable yachts. Since 1980 he has worked both in the US and China and built some very spectacular motor and sail yachts up to 180 feet in length.

When it comes to managing a large work force with the aim of organizing them into an efficient team to build only the highest quality yacht that will be delivered on time and on budget, Tim is in a class by himself. More importantly, from the owner to the cleaning crew, everyone enjoys the build process in Tim's sure management hands.

Tim is proficient in Mandarin Chinese and has excellent communication skills. He is married with two raised children.
