American Dock & Marine was established by Michael Murray in 1990. Mike’s acquaintance with the water began on Wadmalaw Island in the early 1960’s with his family owned business of party fishing boats and shrimp boats. After serving in the military, he returned home to work again in the fishing industry and spent a long period of time as a commercial diver.

In 2021, Judy made a significant career shift by joining her husband’s family business. Previously serving as a director in an animal welfare non-profit organization, she took on the role of an understudy to the previous office’s permitting manager. Over the course of nearly two years, her expertise in project and business management proved invaluable in enhancing the administrative, marketing, and permitting practices of American Dock. With her newfound position as a permitting agent, Judy collaborates closely with local, state, and federal agencies to address all permitting and approval requirements. Additionally, she holds the esteemed title of a notary public in South Carolina, further contributing to her diverse skill set.
