About Christopher
Bio
I've managed product development for Burton Snowboards, Thule and Eddie Bauer. While at Bauer, we won Gear of the Year awards for our First Ascent product line of tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags.
I've identified and managed customers such as Beretta, Sage, and Orvis for a soft goods manufacturer. I became the second largest supplier to the Orvis Company at this time.
At Schwinn, I started as a temp, answering the phones, then moved to and eventually ran the warranty and technical services department. I transferred to the Fitness division where I set a companywide sales record.
Today, I manage sales and marketing for an importer and manufacturer of firefighting equipment.
I am moving from a "worker" to Founder mindset with Easy VR.
