SASSAFRAS RIVER ROOTS · GEORGETOWN, MARYLAND

A FAMILY BUSINESS. A RIVER COMMUNITY.

The people behind the connection.

We live here, work here, and care about what we build here. RiverNet grew from a family need into a way to help our neighbors with the technology in their everyday lives.

Meet the crew

Austen

Founder · Networking & marine know-how

Austen

A third-generation Sassafras River local, Austen started RiverNet to solve a connection problem for his own family. His background combines technical problem solving, business studies at Texas A&M, and commercial maritime experience. He brings the same practical approach to a network installation that he brings to a vessel: understand the whole system, pay attention to the details, and make it work for the people using it.

Ashlynd

The Boss · Family & perspective

Ashlynd

A native Texan and University of Texas alumna, Ashlynd brings a nursing background spanning intensive care and labor and delivery—and plenty of perspective—to the RiverNet family. She and Austen share a love of life on the water. Around here, “The Boss” remains a title given with affection.

Flynn

Supervisor · Original river crew

Flynn

Flynn’s jobsite attendance has always been impressive, even if an occasional nap slips into the schedule. Yard patrols, dock inspections, and the search for misplaced tennis balls keep our original supervisor busy.

JUNIOR CREW

Cal

Meet Cal, Austen’s 18-month-old and the youngest member of the RiverNet family. Our Junior Crew member is a lovely reminder that this business began with family—and that there is a new generation growing up alongside it.

Introduced to the RiverNet crew in fall 2026.

Rooted here. Curious by nature.

We like a useful challenge, a well-finished installation, and the chance to make something work better. Our services have grown, but the idea is still simple: bring serious know-how to a personal, local business.

Ashlynd and Austen

LET’S START WITH A CONVERSATION

Tell us what needs to work better.

A house with a stubborn dead zone. A dock that needs Wi-Fi. A farm with equipment a field away. We’ll listen, work through the details, and help you choose a sensible next step.
