What (or who!) first introduced you to the outdoors lifestyle?
I've loved the outdoors since I was a little kid but when my dad introduced me to fly fishing about 10 years ago, it took everything to a whole new level. It's been my passion ever since!

What's been your most memorable trip/outdoors experience?
I've been to south Florida for several fishing trips (Everglades, Florida Keys, etc.). Those never fail to deliver some awesome memories.
What first brought you to GOPC and what do you love about working there?
As a recent college graduate, GOPC was on my radar as a job that matched my hobbies. It has been a great position as I transition from school to my eventual career.

What has been your most special customer moment? In the warehouse we don't have too many customer interactions, but from the few times I have been in the store I can certainly attest to the friendly atmosphere created by the customers and employees.
