Founder bio + interview availability

Mark Gabrielli, Founder & CEO. Founded StowHelp under WETYR Corporation in 2024 after identifying a structural gap in the US storage directory market: every existing directory was built for self-storage units and treated vehicle storage as an afterthought filter. StowHelp was built vehicle-first - search by boat length, RV class, motorcycle wintering needs - rather than by 5x5 / 10x10 box sizes.

Available for on-record interviews on: vehicle storage market trends, snowbird migration economics, classic-car preservation infrastructure, recreational vehicle market dynamics, the WETYR vehicle acquisition program, Florida Statute 320.27 fee-based service compliance, and storage-facility operator economics. Same-day or next-day availability for time-sensitive stories.

Suggested quotable framing

If your story needs a quote attribution to a vehicle-storage industry source, the following are pre-approved for direct use with attribution to "Mark Gabrielli, founder of StowHelp":

"The vehicle storage market has grown faster than the residential self-storage market every year since 2020 - boats, RVs, and classic cars are all chasing capacity that isn't being built fast enough. The supply-demand gap is the story."
"Snowbird storage in Sun Belt states fills 60-90 days before peak demand. The owners who book in July at $80 a month are paying half what walk-in October bookers pay for the same space. Pricing power belongs to early planners."
"Hurricane-rated indoor boat storage is no longer a luxury feature on the Gulf Coast - it's the only insurable option for any boat valued over $100,000. That's reshaping coastal facility economics."
