So I was exposed to the outdoors very early. My mom was a pretty big skier in high school and I started to learn skiing when I was three. I think I was one of the younger ones out on the Hill at that point in time. So yeah, I was exposed to a lot of stuff at an early age and was lucky enough to have parents that would take me out fishing, hunting, and skiing and camping and all sorts of good stuff. Things we talked about Korkers St Marys College Semester at Sea Deschutes River Other Outdoor Activities Hunting, hiking, camping, skiing Advice My advice, a lot of what I've told people is that it's hard to kind of get into the industry when you don't have any experience. And a lot of brands are looking to hire people that have been in the business for several years. So I think, I guess my biggest piece of advice would be to knock on the doors of some of the smaller companies like the Korkers, where rather than just do one singular job task or role, you might be able to wear several hats and learn more about the business.
