What’s better than a dirt riding, classic car drivin’, speaker wall bumpin’ action sports aficionado?  Well, having one on your company roster!  Kristin Jankel, the Footwear Production Coordinator for DC Shoes, is not your typical “Nine to Fiver,” she’s out and about in the world, burnin’ rubber any chance she gets before the madness strikes near the end of each quarter.

Kristin started out in the “Corp World,” but soon after took an opportunity in the industry, which in turn simply reinforced her drive to live it up in both the action sports and off-road/car worlds.  Kristin is out there making sure your sneaks are produced in a timely manner and on the shelves on time, so check out what she has to say in this month’s Industrial Profile.

In 1991 SRH was an event promotion company focused on promoting bands and concerts in the San Diego area.  The same bands SRH promoted were also popular choices of surf film makers in the early ‘90s.  Making tees and hats to promote SRH was a natural evolution for the SRH crew.  Flash forward 17 years to 2008 and you’ll find SRH as a full-blown clothing company boasting a growing roster of professional athletes including big-wave charger Jamie Sterling, and many more across all of the action sports.  Ryan White, Co-Founder of SRH, shares a little bit of the story.
