摘要：	Big River Propeller (BRP), part of the James Marine family of companies, has expanded to the Big Easy, with the official launch of a propeller shop in the New Orleans area. It's a strategic location for BRP, with the new wheel shop adjoining James Marines JMI Elmwood Repair & Maintenance shipyard, near where the Harvey Canal meets the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway "This is a hot spot," said Sam Davis, who founded Big River Propeller in 2014 and now serves as general manager. "Kentucky is a good spot, but I'm not too sure this isn't going to be an even bigger spot. There are a lot of dry docks in this area." Davis got his start working on propellers in 1982, right out of high school, with Missouri Dry Dock. "That was my first job, and I developed a passion for it," he said. "I grew up in the business." After 17 years with Missouri Dry Dock, Davis moved to Texas to begin working for Houston Propeller. He then spent some time with Atlantic Marine, now part of BAE Systems. All those years, though, Davis maintained a desire to start his own propeller shop, building on that passion for "pitching wheels" he discovered right out of high school.
