Congrats to Hobie! Future looks bright...

I just heard he has been appointed as Dagger's lead dog and field marketing manager. I have known and paddled with him for many years and can't think of a better choice for Dagger!

Hobie, I can't wait to see what you have planned.

Congrats Hobie...much deserved.

Does this mean we should keep our eyes out for the Dagger Danger in 2009?

hey hobie, nice work man! cant think of anyone better for the position! keep up the sickness

[hobie]

Thanks a bunch for the kind words. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am about the new position. I have been with Dagger for 12 years starting out as a tech. rep here in Colorado. There have been many changes over the years but one thing is for certain, we are going to be sure to be true to our roots. The paddlers, what they want to paddle, and how they want to be treated. It is going to take some time but know that I am going to do everything possible to put Dagger back at the top. As a start here is my personal contact info to anyone that needs help or has questions. I want to hear what paddlers want, new product ideas, issues they may have. Whatever. You the paddler have a voice in Dagger now. As for moving out of Colorado, not a chance. I love it here to much. Lots of travel but I will still be here in Gypsum aka Git-Sum.

Congrats Hobie! I am sure you will do Dagger proud! I look forward to working and paddling with you more in the future. If there is anything I can do to help you out...let me know.
