I have been in the outdoor industry since at a young age as my father would kick me out the front door of the house. Main hobbies being forced and/or enjoying are rock climbing, fly fishing, and snowboarding. My father as well as growing up in Colorado has certainly helped my learning and appreciation of the outdoors, and then promptly the gear that follows with.Coming up on four years of work experience as a sales associate and now as a assistant manager and buyer. Experienced and passionate in product knowledge, in hard goods to soft goods. I have a particular interest in clothing from them, and any company with great design. Learning the minute intricacies of fabric type and how it is sown to make one piece. As a buyer and assitant manager, knowing how and with what the products are made of I can make decisions on product to bring to store and how to train the staff to sell. Being a nerd on clothing can have its side effects (mostly boring co-workers), but it allows to have myself and staff to have excellent customer service.Other interests and jobs; fly fishing guide, kickboxing coach, and sales representative for a brewery.
