Brand Owner / Skier / Runner / Cyclist / Wannabe Beer Snob

I have always had a passion for sport and the gear that goes with it. Growing up, I competed abroad as a ski racer. Often on these travels, my buddies and I would stumble upon new gear that wasn't available to us back home, and immediately, the hunt for finding the best and most unique merch became my obsession. From rare Austrian national team race suits, pallets of Red Bull (pre-US distribution), European Carhartt, or the much-coveted Swedish snus, it didn't matter, I was fascinated by it all. This international scavenger hunt for unique shit inspired me and set me on the path to a career in e-commerce. Along with running a direct-to-consumer outdoor lifestyle brand, Patrol USA, I consult within the menswear/outdoor industry. In this blog you will find my curated view of the best of the best: gear reviews, notable menswear pieces, entertainment, books, and other activities that I love.
