About Me:
While working towards my B.A in Graphic Design and Business Administration, I started and managed my own clothing company. It was here that I learned the fundamentals of interacting with customers, retailers, manufacturers, and distributors. Progressing as a clothing company in the action sports industry, I sought out to open my own shop that would provide stability to the growing brand. In Jan, 2007 I started RoxoRideshop.com, an ecommerce site with the ability to sell to an emerging audience.
