I launched Ridgeline Specialty Sports to provide the Treasure Valley a quality bike and ski shop with affordable prices. We work in partnership with world-leading companies such as Giant and BMC bicycles and Head, Atomic and Fischer skis. The launch of this business tested my endurance as we went up against one of the strongest economic headwinds we've seen in 30 years. Most people called us crazy for attempting to launch such a business during this time but we love these activities and we would do it over again if we had the chance. We set ourselves apart on wonderful customer service. I was specifically involved in vendor negotiations, finance, business strategy, advertising, community involvement and everything else that goes along with setting up a new small business. If there was ever a time that I used every single skill I learned in business school, it was during the time this business was established.
