Manager, AETHERsf

Growing up just outside the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Northern Minnesota and developing a love for the outdoors and adventure from a young age I consider myself an aficionado of well designed and technical outdoor brands and respect their dedication to making quality goods created by fellow outdoor enthusiasts. 

Positive attitude focused on creating ideas and systems for correcting issues and handling daily tasks. Data driven analytical skills mixed with a keen eye for detail and design. Passion for pushing the boundaries to achieve goals above and beyond expectations. Find inspiration from my environment, live and breathe the brand’s ethos.
