About Us - Woman Owned

Shirley Ashton

In High School, Shirley was a Monterey Bay, California resident and Science Club President. Shirley enjoyed boating, scuba diving, and marine science. Upon graduation, Shirley attended the University of California Maritime Academy, earning an unlimited Coast Guard License to sail any tonnage ship in any ocean and a B.S. in Business Administration. During college, Shirley was the Scuba Dive Club President and coordinated dives in locations and ports she sailed to, such as Hawaii, Tonga, Marshall Islands, and Australia. Passionate about sailing, Shirley also raced weeknights with Benicia and Vallejo California Yacht Clubs, as well as with the Cal Maritime Sailing Team. During college, she also completed internships with the Port of Portland and ARCO Marine.

 

After graduation, Shirley worked for American Trading sailing as 3rd Mate (licensed officer) aboard the U.S. flagged Oil Tankers, transporting crude oil, jet fuel, diesel, leaded, and unleaded gasoline between various Alaska and California ports. When American Trading was acquired, Shirley came “shore-side” and contracted with Nike, Inc. While contracting at Nike, Shirley attended the University of Portland, majoring in finance, management, and marketing, and graduated with a Master in Business Administration. 

 

Ashton Family

Upon graduation, Shirley and her husband Joe purchased Multnomah Yacht Harbor and Multnomah Yacht Repair (formerly Lucky Landing), and she simultaneously accepted an Account Marketing Management position with Nike, working with their largest customer.  Over the years, MYR began to grow into a thriving business, and in 2005 it became clear that the business would benefit with Shirley on board full-time. During the summer of 2005, Shirley resigned from Nike, Inc. to join MYR full-time. Since then, Shirley has worked in the yard and in the office, improving processes, marketing, and adding additional crew that is needed to further grow this successful business. Today, Multnomah Yacht Repair and Commercial Marine Power Systems have grown into a thriving business, hauling and repairing over 1000 vessels from 14 – 75 feet and employing 8+ full-time employees.
