Product Development & Marketing in California

By nature, I am not one to be obsessed with the latest and greatest gadget, so why would I spend my career developing and marketing products?

Well, you see, it starts with the things I can't live without. They are the things that have stood up to any adventure thrown their way and have been to places some people only dream of. If they could talk they would tell you about miles they have run, the views from summits they have seen, the freezing temps they have endured to keep me warm, the "chance of rain" that turned into an ice storm, the road trips, the countless nights camping under stars, and so much more. Without quality products I would not be able to chase my passion, test my limits, and bare witness to this amazing place we call home. A great jacket or pair of shoes can help you to see our world in a whole new way. Instead of freezing your butt off in the backcountry when it's 12 degrees, you're able to step out of your tent and watch the first rays of the sun hit the granite peaks that tower above you. It is in these moments, these precious moments that take your breath away, that your life changes.

Because of this, I seek to inspire others to get out there - to test their limits, to explore, and to chase their passions. To do this, the boundaries of what it means to do business need to continue to be pushed. Quality, innovation, and sustainability, in all areas, must be pursued. It is through these elements that I hope to help others to experience their human potential. Whether it is running a sub-four minute mile, reaching new heights in the mountains, or making people look and feel beautiful when they're working out. I want them to feel confident that what they are wearing will not let them down mid-squat or mid-field.

In my spare time, you will find me running with my lab, Lexi, while we train for marathons, hiking, camping, backpacking, snowboarding, and trail running in the backcountry. You'll also find me exploring everything from abandoned towns to new restaurants. Oh, and I'm also slightly obsessed with food. Everything from trying out all the ways one can make tacos to mastering the art of Thomas Keller's macaroons.

I love connecting with people and learning about their story and passions. Shoot me a message anytime! :)
