In my own words

— Dawn

I grew up in the snow/skate/surf world!

I was a competitive snowboarder/wakeboarder from high school into my 30's. During that time I was also a coach for a business I owned/operated and a judge for USASA on the local and national level. At one point I was a tech rep for one of my sponsors which lead to becoming the midwest sales rep for top companies like Fourstar Distribution (Forum, Foursquare, Circa), Nixon watches, Dragon Optical, Split, Wave Rave and Aaron Chang. I am still very passionate about this industry and excited to get back into it!

I am looking for something part-time up to 30 hours/week. Preferably telecommute/work from home or part time in the office. I am flexible, but do have two other part time jobs that also need my attention.
