Out of the House:
Mid-Atlantic: Kelly Fisher represents some of the best gear on the market; including Shred Ready and Liquidlogic...he possesses that rare balance of super mellowness with sincere passion. Kelly lives in Mainer where he has a chicken tractor and his wife runs a Rabbit with bio-diesel.
Rockies: Mike McKee is a true soul boater who plays hard and works hard to keep the Rockies afloat. Mike's experience in expedition paddling on rivers like the Grand Canyon of the Stikine say a lot about this young reps state of mind. He can often be found lapping the North Fork of the Payette to end a long day at the office.
Lower Southeast: The coastal areas of the deep south hold some of the nation's most popular beaches, swamps, lakes, and rivers. Down here we work with Chris Summa of Modern Tradition Sales. Centrally based in Jacksonville, Florida Summa is an active paddler and surfer with a firsthand knowledge of the products that he represents.
Upper Southeast: Here in our home region we are proud to work with the one and only Spencer Cooke. A veteran paddlesports rep since 1996, Spencer covers our home territory spanning the Carolinas, up to West Virginia, and as far West as Arkansas. Spencer is a long time friend and team athlete for many years who has a unique style of sharing product knowledge while keeping us all thoroughly entertained. Spencer also assists Astral grassroots marketing department with his wide array of multimedia talents.
West Coast: Jeff Trauba represents our largest geographic territory, the West Coast - top to bottom. Besides his hard work with Astral and other high end outdoor equipment, Jeff is a pretty serious lifestyler. Based in Santa Cruz, Jeff spends his playtime kayaking, surfing, kiteboarding, and skiing up and down the Pacific Coast. We are very envious of his proximity to the playground.
New England: Chuck Joy is our good friend and veteran rep in New England. He spends most of his time “living the dream” as he makes his rounds visiting the best outdoors shops in Northeast. CJ keeps us entertained on a daily basis and has been a key player in the business since started as one of Philip’s first reps at Lotus.
