Bridgebay Marina Chris Gordon, Manager heavy handed, insecure, over-compensating, pathetic and petty Redding California

I am writing to formally call attention to a seriously problematic individual who is a terrible reflection on Bridgebay Marina. He is an absolute liability, and from what I am learning, his bad reputation precedes him. I am referring to Chris Gordon, the manager. His heavy-handed actions make it very clear that he is a highly insecure person who needs to exercise authority to compensate aggressively for his inadequacies. 
 
I kept my pontoon boat in Marina 2, slip 10, until yesterday, (5-2-2025). My first interaction with Chris occurred several months ago. My friend and mechanic, Brian, was removing my boat for maintenance. Chris and his staff did the same for one of Bridgebay's houseboats. In a very rude fashion, Chris continuously honked his horn and aggressively yelled orders at Brian. He told Brian to move my boat further over towards the side of the road. I found that odd because it appeared to me there was plenty of room. Brian complied completely and moved my boat exactly where Chris asked, but apparantly that was not good enough for Chris. Again, he leaned on his horn and screamed out orders. Brian, who is typically patient and level-headed, was upset. He approached Chris and his staff and asked, "What is your problem?" I intervened at that point to keep the peace. While de-escalating the situation with Brian, I could hear Chris and his staff yelling provocative, antagonistic comments. Despite that, the problem was resolved; however, I remember thinking that Chris and his staff were very unprofessional, especially considering that we are paying customers. 
 
Fast-forward to April 30th. My wife and I decided to take our boat out and go fishing. When we approached the parking/guard shack at the entrance of Bridegebay, we noticed a pickup truck towing a boat in front of us. The driver was outside his truck, laughing and joking with Chris and his staff. After waiting a considerable amount of time, my wife asked me, "Can't they see us waiting?"  She then said, "Just drive around. We have the parking permit hanging from our rear view mirror...and they will wave us on anyway."  I agreed and proceeded to drive around. To our surprise, Chris and a staff member ran after us while waving their arms and screaming for us to stop. I complied and rolled down the driver's side window. Chris approached and yelled, "WHERE IS YOUR PERMIT?" I responded by pointing to the permit hanging from my mirror and saying: "It is right f*cking here." Chris replied Don't you use that language with me. That yellow permit has expired. The new ones are blue! This is my Marina, and I will have your truck towed and your boat impounded. (Since he immediately saw my "expired" yellow permit, all he had to do was advise me that my new blue permit was waiting for me in the office, which I had already bought and paid for. Instead, Chris chose to flex his muscles pathetically). I responded with "F*ck You." Chris then told me to get out of his sight and to pick up my new blue permit at the office. He reminded me that he would have my vehicle towed without it. 
 
My wife and I then drove down the hill to the office. As we walked in, Chris came speeding down the hill after us. He re-escalated the situation, which could have been resolved right there. Apparently, Chris's fragile ego could not accept my four-letter word. He had a change of heart and proclaimed, "You are not getting a new permit. You are getting evicted. Nobody talks to me like that. LOL. He then ordered his staff not to deal with me.  
 
What followed was that I graphically explained to Chris what I thought of him. At one point, he attempted to physically grab my expired parking permit from my hand. That cannot be justified. That ridiculous action caused me to warn him that if he put his hands on me, I would "knock him out."
 
My wife and I left and were advised that we were being evicted. We have since removed our boat from Bridgebay, which is fine with us in retrospect. 
 
The bottom line is that both of these incidents were preventable. If Chris had been friendly and professional, neither one would have happened. Instead, he pathetically chose to overcompensate with unnecessary aggression.
