About the Founder
While many people prefer to stay on land, Gary Bradford is not one of them. With a passion for the water and a desire to fill an industry need, waterborne logistics services, Gary created Cape Henry Launch Service with the help of his wife, Shirley Bradford. Sociability and dependability were the main traits that made building Cape Henry Launch Service into the company that it is today. In his free time, Gary loves to go metal detecting, biking, and spending time with his family and his dog, Sandy. He is grateful for an amazing team that has helped him build his company.
