I have developed, designed and manufactured a variety of other products related to the action sports and other industries since the early 90's.
When taking on a new design task, I’m focused on the end result: sales. This means building a quality, marketable product that is competitive on all levels while focusing on keeping a low cost of goods. In efforts to meet the needs of specific markets, I push the envelope when it comes to product development while focusing on producing goods that rival or surpass the best competitors in that category.
I have a clear understanding of manufacturing from conception to implementation. I have established factories from ground zero; hiring and managing over 75 employees, running seven days a week.
I have travelled globally to numerous factories and have developed relationships that enable me to obtain the best results in the fastest timeline possible.
