I grew up in Worcester County and have represented companies all over the world, such as Wham-O and Catch Surf [bodyboard manufacturers] over the years, and it really cool for me to be working as a face of the county being able to get the message out of how great the county is and all it has to offer not just from Ocean City but to Assateague, Snow Hill and to Berlin. There are so many things the county has that are over looked that I am really excited to help spread the word about,” Stoehr said. Within the next couple of weeks, Worcester County will be launching a new media campaign, featuring Stoehr pinpointing the county’s highlights from the water to wildlife, amusement and entertainment, small town life, plus much more through commercials and other media outlets. Stoehr’s premiere as the county’s new spokesperson comes with good timing as he was recently invited to check another life-long dream off of his bucket list. About a month ago, Stoehr, who has been a professional athlete for over 14 years, was invited to join the U.S. team to participate in the Olympic-recognized event, International Surfing Associations World Bodyboard Championship.

They turned out really good. People always ask me what the difference in prices means when buying a bodyboard. The honest truth is the materials get better as the price increase. Boards get stiffer and perform better. These boards are finally priced lower and have better materials than a lot of other options out there.” Casual Waterfront Dining # Experience The Magic In The Marsh DINNER SPECIALS-NIGHTLY 4-9 P .M.

Meanwhile, it has also come to light Sharoff was facing federal charges for allegedly producing and trafficking counterfeit goods out of his Boardwalk stores and also for storing them at a West Ocean City warehouse. In January, Sharoff was indicted on federal charges of conspiring and trafficking in counterfeit goods and counterfeit labels. The federal indictment alleges Sharoff and his co-conspirators produced and sold counterfeit trademarked items from the two Boardwalk stores and also stored counterfeit goods at a West Ocean City warehouse. At his initial arraignment in March, Sharoff pleaded not guilty to the federal charges he was facing. Ironically, Sharoff was scheduled to be re-arraigned on the charges in federal court in Baltimore on Tuesday and his trial was set for Oct. 21. The federal charges notwithstanding, it appears Sharoff was well known and popular in the local community. Friends and family reached this week declined to comment on the incident or the victim.
