Meet the Team
Get to Know Us
Summit Fishing Equipment is more than just a brand—it’s a family-run business built on passion, innovation, and a love for fishing. We take great pride in what we sell, knowing that every product we design is something we’d trust on the water ourselves.
Meet Todd – The Engineer & Founder
Todd, the owner and engineer behind Summit Fishing Equipment, saw a gap in the market for a truly portable fishing electronics solution. That idea led to the creation of the first Summit Shuttle, pioneering a new way to transport and protect fishing electronics. With a career in engineering, Todd started the business in his basement right before COVID-19 shut everything down. As demand grew, so did the company—eventually expanding beyond the basement into a dedicated facility where we continue to develop top-quality transducer poles, transducer mounts, bags, and boat mounting solutions. When Todd is not working he is either fishing, tending to his garden, or tinkering on his next project.
Where We Are Today
Located in Northeast Ohio, just 30 minutes from Lake Erie, Summit Fishing Equipment has been a trusted name in the fishing community since 2019. We provide fishermen with high-quality, affordable solutions for forward-facing sonar gear. We’re also proud sponsors of the Lake Erie Walleye Trail and The Fall Brawl, supporting anglers and tournaments that bring fishermen together.
A Family Business
Todd has three daughters and wanted them to share his love of fishing. Kaleigh, his oldest daughter, has been fishing with him and her grandfather since she could walk. With a degree in marketing, Kaleigh has been with Summit Fishing since the beginning—if you've ever needed help with boat mounting solutions or customer service, chances are you’ve spoken with her! When Kaleigh isn't working, she is likely taking care of her son & two coonhounds, running, or fishing.
Seth, Kaleigh’s husband, is another key part of the team. If you’ve had any questions about marine electronics, you’ve likely spoken with him. His knowledge ensures that customers get the right setup for their needs. Seth also runs the shop behind the scenes, making sure parts are assembled & ready to be shipped out to our customers. He is an essential part of the team. When Seth is not working, you can find him fishing, golfing, or hanging out with his family.
Conner, is a family-friend of ours & a key part of the team. Conner works behind the scenes at Summit Fishing. He designs and develops new products with Todd, runs our CNC machines to make sure we’ve always got plenty of gear ready to ship. When he’s not in the shop, you’ll find him on the golf course, chasing walleye or musky on the local lakes, or enjoying a plate of Mexican food at one of his favorite spots
At Summit Fishing, we’re more than a company—we’re a family, and we appreciate every customer who chooses our products for their fishing adventures. Whether you're on the ice or open water, we’re here to help you fish smarter.
