Here at Going Gear we are one big happy family. We not only get to spend time together, but we get to spend time with our customers, friends, and fans. As we continue to grow our network of customers and fans we figured it was about time that you learn more about our staff that help you guys everyday. We each have our own expertise and interest, but together we are your go to people for all things Going Gear. Without further ado, meet the Going Gear staff:
Marshall
I’m Marshall, the founder and owner of Going Gear. I make the in-depth flashlight and other gear videos on our main Youtube channel in addition to my regular boring owner duties. I like flashlights a little too much and am even worse about merino wool, especially the stuff from Icebreaker. I’ve been hiking, camping, and backpacking on a regular basis since I was three and love every moment I get to spend outside, rain or shine. These days, being outside mostly means weekend hours spent in the park with my wife and toddler daughter, but I still try to get out on the trails with them as often as I can.
Casey
I find that doing is learning and my hobby in life is to learn. I have a fascination with nature, adventure, and experience. I am most content laying in my hammock, listening to a rushing river somewhere in the North Georgia mountains. My specialty at Going Gear is anything outdoors related. From hard goods to apparel, I like to focus on what you will need to hit the trail.
Andy
Hey guys, I am Andy. Born and raised on Long Island, NY, I moved down to Georgia 3 years ago to get away from the horrid cold. I handle all of the returns and customer service for Going Gear. If you need help picking out the perfect knife, or a solid flashlight for weapon mounting, or anything for your tactical needs, I am the guy to talk to. When I am not in the shop, you can find me at a local rock show, at the range, or camping up in the mountains with my Labrador, Hunter.
Kyle
My name is Kyle and I am a native of Atlanta growing up on the south side of town. I am a graduate of Auburn University where I met my beautiful wife. I have a young son and a Yellow English Labrador named Murphy. I enjoy vintage sports cars and collecting knives and firearms. My expertise at Going Gear is in flashlights and knives. I love working with the great people here and enjoy helping customers find the best flashlight to fit their needs.
Chris
Hey everybody! I’m Chris, the youngest of the Going Gear team. You’ll usually find me out on the sales floor, answering phones, or even shipping your orders (I also manage the Facebook and Twitter pages, too!). Born and raised in the state of Georgia, I’ve always had a certain passion for being outdoors in any shape or form, which is why I love helping others find and fuel their outdoor passions as well. Whenever I’m not at the store, I’m either hiking, rock climbing, camping, trail running, and above all: kayaking. If you ever need help with outdoor apparel, or looking for an awesome set of Vibram Five Fingers, I’ll be more than happy to assist.
Megan
I’m Megan, currently the lone female on staff at Going Gear. When I’m not making youtube review videos or working in the store you can find me day hiking in the north Georgia mountains or hitting the trails in the jeep. If you’re looking for a female perspective on a product or have questions about female specific products, I’m your go to gal. I love connecting with all our customers and encouraging everyone to spend more time outside enjoying the beauty of nature.
