What's been your most memorable trip/outdoors experience?Â
A trip to Washington state! It was a series of hikes around Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, and Olympic National Park. I really enjoyed getting to see a different part of the country, getting to climb mountains, and getting to see wildlife that is so different from what we have here in NC.

What first brought you to GOPC and what do you love about working there?Â
I started working in the warehouse in college, but have really enjoyed being around fellow outdoorsy people and learning more about the products that help us get the most out of our outdoor experiences.Â

What has been your favorite experience working at GOPC?Â
I would say my favorite experience working at GOPC has been the camaraderie and community that I've built here. Having started in the warehouse in high school and college, and now moving into an office role, it's been great to see how the company and the people around me are growing.Â
