Kahtoola, Inc.

Hilary is a native of Flagstaff, Arizona — yes, they actually exist. Being the events coordinator for Kahtoola, she is on the road quite a bit and she loves every moment of it. The only thing that makes her a little sad is when her dog Skye cannot travel with her and when it is really super cold. Things you should know about Hilary: she loves playing outdoors--hiking, camping, boating, volleyball, but hates running (she figures that walking or running, she is going to get there).  Ironically, many of the people that Hilary loves and cherishes are runners, go figure. Sometime in the future Hilary plans to attend culinary school and move to where there is water.

Eric was born and raised in Kane, PA. Being in the heart of the Allegheny National Forest Eric was able to recreate outdoors in all seasons and enjoys everything from Fishing to Mountain Biking, just get him outside. Striking out west to attend college in Parks and Recreation Management Eric immediately fell in Love with Flagstaff, Arizona's wide open skies, beautiful Mountain Peaks, and huge pine forests (Being close to Sedona didn't hurt either). Now with Kahtoola you can find Eric on the other end of the line if you need anything regarding sales or product questions. That little fella in the picture, that's Eric's son Nolan, ...Coolest guy on the planet! Both love bacon and cookies

Amy was born and raised in Southern California, but her family moved to Flagstaff in the 80’s. She now resides with her son Tyler, husband Charley, and two dogs Suzie and Bones. When Amy is not working in the shop, you can find her fishing the many lakes of Northern Arizona or hiking in the forest. She loves to knit and has become very good, knitting almost every night while relaxing at home. She hopes soon to move back to a warmer climate near the ocean.

Danny is the founder of Kahtoola. He is often found designing and prototyping our future products or pondering the many questions posed by other associates — figuring if it takes him long enough to answer they will come up with an excellent idea in the meantime. He enjoys spending time with his wife Melissa, twin girls Katie and Heather, and dog Abbey. He is never lacking for things to do and given the chance heads straight for the nearest climbing area to enjoy the excellent climbing around Flagstaff.

Someone has to make all this sweet stuff! Vance is in charge of production and loves playing with our products. Born and raised in Arizona, he spends most of his free time outdoors. Hiking, biking, riding his dirt bike, or falling down a mountain looking for lost treasures, he is always coming back with new bruises! Since he lives downtown, you just might bump into him walking the streets or cruising the local stores.

Born and raised in Montana, Rhiannon criss-crossed the West, living in L.A. and Portland before landing in Flagstaff in 2006. She loves dancing, traveling and trail running, and is excited to participate in the TransRockies Run in 2009! Rhiannon may be the only person in Flagstaff who doesn’t own a dog, but she is very proud of her zebra finches, Talia & Burke. Rhiannon is most likely the first voice you will hear when you call Kahtoola, and she is your best contact for questions regarding customer service, shipping and accounts payable & receivable.
