OUR STAFF

We know that our expert staff is one of the things that separates us. We use the gear we sell - we know how to qualify you for the best gear to suit your unique needs. We wanted to take a moment to introduce you to our staff and let you get to know them a little bit better.

Ric Emmons - SNAC Sonora
	Enthusiasm is Ric's middle name.  Whether he's talking about the local bouldering areas, the newest disc golf course or where to find the best Mexican food in Sonora, you can count on Ric to give the best beta - along with his signature grin.

.......................................................................

Gary Burgin - SNAC Sonora
	He's a modern Renaissance man!  His passions include painting, playing & mixing music, and working his late night events.  Cycling is his primary transportation, but his first love is snowboarding.

Elena Clark - SNAC Murphys
	Next time you're in downtown Murphys drop in on Elena.  She can point you in the right direction if you're heading out for a hike....or if you're looking for clothing & footwear for wine tasting - she'll hook you up!

.......................................................................

Janee Martin - SNAC Murphys
	It's hard to imagine downtown Murphys without Janee.  She raised her family here and it seems like she knows everyone!  If you need a shopping companion, you've come to the right person!

.......................................................................

Shawn Lei - SNAC Arnold & Murphys
	For a young guy - Lei get's around.  Currently found somewhere between Murphys and Arnold, but on his way to Humbolt.  He's into music, disc golf, snowboarding, hiking and anything outdoors.  Gotta enjoy him while he's around - although he promises to come back!

.......................................................................

Clint Smitheman - SNAC Arnold
	How can that much knowledge of the Sierra Nevada be packed into one person's brain?  Being born and raised in Tuolumne County by Sierra Club card-carrying parents has shaped Clint into a human database of backcountry knowledge.  Ask him how many months in a row he's gone backcountry skiing!

......................................................................

Lew Monell - SNAC Arnold
	Sharing his love of the outdoors is just one of the ways Lew shows his generous nature.  His specialty is taking friends on moonlight snowshoe & paddling trips.  If you're ever stranded on a desert island - he'd be a good one have along.

.......................................................................

Suki Tutthill - SNAC Murphys
	If you've been to downtown Murphys lately, you might know Suki's on board!  We just love all the positive energy she brings to SNAC Murphys.  If you ever need to know anything about Murphys, she's your gal as she's happy to share the town's rich history.  She can also point you in the right direction for all your needs -  from local recreation to international travel!

.......................................................................

Ryan Ogburn - SNAC Arnold
	If you're on your way to do something fun up the hill in Calaveras County, there's a good chance Ryan can help you.  He's been in the county long enough to give you some advice on your next hike or paddling trip and he even gives parking lot paddle lessons!  Turns out there is so much recreation in the county that filling his days off is not a problem.

.......................................................................

Lauren Kelly - SNAC Sonora
	Lauren's a new face in Sonora and what she likes about working at SNAC is sharing her love of nature.  At first she wasn't sure she'd be able to keep up with Ric & Gary, but she's pretty enthusiastic about trying!  Lauren's into backpacking, kayaking, skiing & birds... and that seems to cover a lot of SNAC's bases.

.......................................................................

Beth Molesworth - SNAC Arnold Office
	She's SNAC's behind-the-scenes Rock.  She keeps all the paperwork together and feels that time spent with her grandbabies has prepared her well for all the multi-tasking in her job.  When she's not counting beans - she's doing her best to keep the staff smiling!

.......................................................................

Shawn Seale - SNAC Arnold
	Shawn's been SNAC's visionary from day one.  He's always looking downstream and getting ready to ride the next wave.  Like a kid who never grew up - he's surrounded himself with the youthful energy of our staff...and a lot of toys.

.......................................................................

Jill Seale - SNAC Arnold
	Always the planner, Jill's specialty is logistics, although she prefers applying it to a backcountry setting.  Whether she's organizing the staff, planning our company trips or feeding large groups of adventurers - it's all in the details.
