About

A mixed bag of retail management and merchandising coupled with a new found love of the promo marketing space = spec geek with style! I love learning about products and what makes them special; this passion allows me to educate my audience and create informed buyers who are equally as excited about their gear. Secondary to my love of learning about random things has to be my love of creating. While my final product may not always be beautiful, the process brings great joy. I've dabbled in auto repair and metal work/4x4 builds, custom paint jobs via the old rattle can, and more DIY than I ever care to admit. If there's a project or challenge, I have the solution. Craft beer, 4x4's, baseball, and swag of all forms permeate my fabric 🤙🏼
