Just writing to say hello to all of the Onion River faithful! I was asked to be the "product review" for the week, and I will apologize in advance for not being as exciting as the latest full suspension 29er. My outdoor roots are traced back to my time as a Boy Scout, earning the rank of Eagle Scout and working at camp for more summers than I can count. I broke into the outdoor industry in 1997 with Eastern Mountain Sports, starting as seasonal help in the Pittsburgh, PA market. I was raised in the Pittsburgh area, my blood runs black and gold (sorry to all of you Patriot fans). From there, I did a whirlwind tour with EMS. Having spent a year or more in each Detroit, Syracuse, Keene (NH), Ithaca, and Albany, I decided I wanted to make yet another move and come to Vermont. My career with EMS lasted for a little over 10 years, and I value every bit of that experience. I absolutely love working in the outdoor industry, because of the people I meet, the product I am surrounded by and the lifestyle it promotes.
A little personal beta: I already mentioned that I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA. In January, my wife Tirzah and I got married. I enjoy spending time with my wife and my chocolate lab, Noah. Being outside is my passion. I always brag that I have spent over 4 years of my life living in a tent. When I have a day off I usually reach for tele skis or a fly rod, but biking is slowly creeping up on those activities. I am sure my biking will increase being at Onion River. And of course, those activities are capped off at the end of the day with some good beer and bluegrass music.
So, in a nutshell that's me. Please stop by and introduce yourself. I am excited to be here at Onion River, surrounded by a fabulous crew and a great group of customers!
