Erik can spot a 12V accessory from a mile away. Erik focuses his efforts on creating awesome, must-have accessories to our gear. His favorite part of his job is trying to break stuff and make it better. Erik grew up in Utah and spent endless days outdoors. He spent four years in the Marine Corp and played rugby in college. Needless to say he is pretty tough. He enjoys long boarding, camping, downhill mountain biking and playing with his wife and two boys.

Walker Ford

Walker Ford

Electronics Engineer & Texas Ranger
Walker's desk is an organized mess of electrical cords, circuit boards and lot of scary looking stuff that he could use to shock you. Walker really knows his stuff and we love to try and stump him. Walker has always called Utah home with a few years spend in Austria. He enjoys trail running, snowboarding, soccer, and gourmet cooking. He is on a constant search for the newest technology to implement in his designs.
