Toy Storage Nation has added Andy Hayes, director of acquisitions at Go Outdoors, to its advisory board, expanding the company’s expertise in RV and boat storage development.
Hayes brings experience in acquiring and developing marinas, RV resorts, and entertainment hubs across the United States, supporting Toy Storage Nation’s mission to educate entrepreneurs on profitable opportunities.
Go Outdoors, a platform that acquires, develops, and operates marinas, deluxe RV resorts, and innovative entertainment hubs, launched its portfolio in 2023 with 11 Sun Life collection marinas and four RV resort parks.
The company operates in partnership with Monarch Alternative Capital LP, an investment firm managing over $11 billion in assets.
“Andy is a welcome addition to the Toy Storage Nation Advisory Board, bringing valuable experience within complementary assets of the storage industry,” TSN President Amy Bix said in an article published by Toy Storage Nation on October 3.
Bix emphasized the importance of diversification in the current developer and investor climate.
“Diversification is discussed fluently within the developer and investor communities right now,” she said. “Andy’s background and connections within marinas and RV resorts enhances Toy Storage Nation’s ability to stay ahead of the curve for our RV/boat storage audience and workshop attendees.”
Hayes studied financial planning at the University of Georgia, working in real estate throughout his college career. In 2019, he co-founded Atlanta Reserves LLC, specializing in residential and commercial tax deed and tax lien investments, probate, direct equity real estate investments, and asset recovery.
Prior to his work at Go Outdoors, Hayes held positions at Restore Atlanta, where he led the acquisitions team and focused on distressed real estate investments throughout Fulton County, Georgia.
In 2022, he joined Safe Harbor Development as director of acquisitions before moving to Go Outdoors a year later.
