Free Lance - Product Developer

Engineering & Production

Relocated to Seattle Last summer, I have been doing Freelance work since then. I am looking to lock down something more full time.  I worked as a Jr. Product Developer for Puffin Drinkwear. I was the companies first hire as a start up, I have been working for them for almost three years. In this time I have had to work in every aspect of the business, everyone was wearing every hat at the beginning. I have learned a lot working here and grown as an employee while growing with the start up. 

I also have been a snowboarder for my whole life. Currentl I am riding for Arbor Snowboards, Flux Bindings, Blackstrap, and some other brands. During my time as a team rider I have had to travel and help out these companies. I have worked trade shows and helped out on many aspects of sales and marketing for them.  I have developed a passion for Product development and have had a passion for the outdoor industry (especially board sports), I am looking forward to combining these and maximizing my drive!
