My Story
Wholesale account representative for OR, WA, ID, and AK
I am an established sales professional with more than 20 years of experience within the outdoor and lifestyle industries. Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to represent some of the most respected brands in the industry, including YETI, Filson, Dometic, Sitka, Stetson, and Pendleton.
For the past five years, I have represented Pendleton Woolen Mills as an independent sales representative throughout the Pacific Northwest. Prior to Pendleton, I worked in-house for Seattle-based Filson as their Pacific Northwest Wholesale Account Executive. Having worked both as an independent representative and as an in-house sales executive, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the wholesale channel and what it takes to successfully build brands and develop lasting retail partnerships.
My connection to the outdoor industry began at an early age. I was raised on the sales floor of my parents’ ski shop in Sunriver, Oregon, where I developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors and the people who make the outdoor industry special. My passion for fly fishing began during my youth and eventually led to a summer job as a fly-fishing guide in high school.
What began as a summer job developed into a decade-long career in the fly-fishing industry, during which I had the opportunity to guide and manage fly-fishing lodges in five countries. Those experiences provided me with a unique combination of sales, hospitality, leadership, and firsthand knowledge of the outdoor consumer.
Today, my wife Angela and I live in Sisters, Oregon, where we are raising our two children, Beau and Harper. I continue to embrace the outdoor lifestyle that has shaped both my personal and professional life. When I am not working, I can typically be found fly fishing, upland bird hunting, backcountry skiing, or river rafting.
I bring an authentic connection to the outdoor community, deep Pacific Northwest market knowledge, and more than two decades of experience developing brands and cultivating wholesale relationships. My approach is rooted in strong relationships, thoughtful market strategy, and a genuine belief in the brands I represent.
My goal is simple: to represent exceptional PNW brands with integrity and enthusiasm while developing thoughtful strategies that create sustainable, long-term growth throughout the Pacific Northwest.
