Last summer, Nick Rowley moved from North County San Diego to take a job on the East Coast, as the Brand Manager for Action Sports at Under Armour in Baltimore.  His main duty at UA Action is to be the voice of the brand and he does this by working with all the departments and across different categories in developing a strategic marketing direction for the Mtn, Surf and Skate teams.

Since starting with the company eight months ago, Nick has overseen the signing of Dustin Craven to the snow team and Knox Harris to the surf team.  He travels to tradeshows, contests and conferences, but in the office he's on the go as well - meeting with different segments of the UA Action team to plan and discuss current and future projects.

We asked Nick about how he got his start in the industry as an intern at Omatic Snowboards, his decision to move across country, and how his time has been at Under Armour since starting in July 2012.
