- What’s your favorite Pantone color? 801C. We did a trend report on a similar color for Spring & Summer. Plus it doesn’t hurt that it’s the blue we use in our branding!
- Favorite of the moment trendy t-shirt style? Not the ringer… my favorite is acid wash. The girls in the office love the ringer right now, I just can’t go back to that trend personally!
- Favorite recent product that AMB3R produced? Seacoast appliqué hoodie & joggers. I love showing our clients that they can have branded apparel without putting a billboard on a t-shirt that most customers won’t wear again. An appliqué hoodie and joggers are timeless pieces their customers will wear for years.
- What’s your favorite Denver restaurant? Euclid Hall. Not only do I love their food, but we’ve wanted to work with them for years. Their merchandise is pretty standard, but we know we could help them increase sales with our touch!
- Favorite ice cream flavor? Little Man Ice Cream - Salted Maple Chocolate Dipped Bacon ice cream. They had this 3 years ago as a special with Tender Belly Bacon and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it sense.
- What item do you have to have at your desk? My desk is currently an organized mess of espresso cups, post it notes, patch samples and pantone books.
- Patches or Pins? Both! We have been developing a patch & pin combo with a custom backer card. The backer cards are a great place for extra branding and keep these small items organized.)
- Dream client? The one who gives me ample time to produce. 😃 But really, the opportunity to work with American Red Cross would be great; philanthropy is very important to me so I think we would be a good fit.
- How many photos are on your camera roll right now? 1,600
- What was the first concert you attended? Petra
- How do you want to improve yourself in the 2nd half of the year? Eat healthier, more exercise & read 2 books per month.
- What is your favorite quote? Never wish life were easier, wish that you were better. - Jim Rohn
- How did you first get into apparel and design? I first got into apparel and design through my brother who worked at an action sports apparel brand called Truth Soul Armour. I also spent ten years managing merchandise on tour with major label bands.
- What are you hobbies outside of AMB3R? Work! It never really stops. When I do get time to myself I enjoy Netflix foodie shows, reading, and spending time with my wife and 1 year old, Ezra.
- What do you find challenging about your role in AMB3R? Not being able to focus on 1 area but having to manage all parts of the company. Luckily, the more we grow, the more I get to focus on the areas I love!
