When did you start at GOPC? 11/08/08.
What (or who!) first introduced you to the outdoors lifestyle?
My Father!
What's been your most memorable trip/outdoors experience?
Climbing Mount Misen on Miyajima Island in Japan to see the shrines and wild monkeys.
What first brought you to GOPC and what do you love about working there?
I came in to get improved camping and backpacking gear. I love the fact that the people that visit the store have many of the same interests that I do. Plus, customers are always traveling someplace new and different, and are excited to talk about their experiences with me!
What has been your most special customer moment?
Definitely more than just one… I find it wonderful to see people again and again; after various trips, with crazy stories of how things went wrong (and right). I love their pictures, illustrating the beauty and grandeur of locations I have yet to visit. And I love seeing former staff and friends after years of absence.
