Created with the spirit of salty pirates, the magic and beauty of mystical mermaids, securely anchored with the dependability of the trusted Compass Rose, you’ll see right into the heart and inspiration that built the logo for Florida Home & Dock Life!
His daughters love for mermaids created the adventure and dreamy addition that seems to reach out, grab you, daring you to dive in, to dream… The Pirate font speaks for itself and is “ARG”-uably a great reflection of adventure and love of water and the sea. The Compass Rose is the perfect summary to everything the company stands for, anchored in direction and leadership.
“Live, Love, Surf” has always been the daily motto of Florida Home & Dock Life Owner, Davin T. Erickson. Davin is a loving husband to his beautiful wife and business partner, Jessica, and proud father of two beautiful children. The thirty eight year old local Brevard native, carpenter, and long time surfer found his love of the water at a very young age. He grew up in the Marine industry watching his dad, licensed as a 200 ton Master Captain, delivering Yachts for a living. At the age of eighteen he answered an ad for a part time job building docks. He was hooked after he found himself working in the water every day. “It is where I feel at home the most.” he stated as he begins his story.
In December’s issue we covered the story of a community rebuild after Hurricane Matthew. The united heart to get our local Charter Boat Captains back on the water working to feed their families was personal. That message came through his heart loud and clear in our first conversation. During an interview with his crew, they shared, that while working around Davin you will hear phrases like “Surgical Precision” and “Strive not to be a success but rather a value”. “Surgical precision” describing the quality of excellence and care he expects. “Strive not to be a success but rather a value” mirrors his values for humanity and how we should portray ourselves through work and character. Not only does he live his life this way but leads his crew and business with the same integrity and heart.
Florida Home & Dock Life was established in August of 2014. As they move forward in the years to come, their plans and goals for the future are to have the staffing and equipment to cover a higher commercial division like resorts and hotels. His hopes are that he is known and sought after not only for their professionalism and integrity but because the company strives on maintaining their motto, “Bringing Quality to the Water’s Edge.”
Florida Home & Dock Life covers the area of Brevard, Orange and Seminole Counties. Most of their work is in the Central Florida areas.
