Shortly after graduation, Neckel moved to Somerset, KY, to assist with the growth of Sumerset Custom Houseboats.

Awards such as General Excellence from Inc. Magazine, due to the innovation of sumerset.com, national recognition from Forbes Magazine, the Travel Channel, as well as Good Morning America are just a few things Neckel put in his suitcase when he left Sumerset Custom Houseboats to pursue new adventures in digital media.
