In My Own Words
<p>During my twenty years in the action sports industry, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of positions, including product development, graphic and product design, retail management and sales, marketing, and multi-channel sales and distribution. I have worked with startups and industry leaders and enjoyed the unique opportunities and challenges presented by both. </p>
