I began as an intern, and then was asked to stay on to work in Marketing and Public Relations.

					<description><![CDATA[Long before this blog, I wondered about the people behind the snowboard brands, companies and ideas. Those questions turned out to become the Industry Profile series. For the past three summers, countless companies, jobs and people from all different backgrounds have told their stories in these interviews. The 2011 Industry Profiles composed of 33 individuals, from June to October every Tuesday and Thursday in an interview series that showcased various jobs within the industry.  This summer I had the highest number of female interviews (eight women) inside the ski/snowboard industry and a higher amount of people switched jobs after their interviews. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit an interview and share their thoughts.  I truly appreciate the effort it took to share your story and make this happen.  Thanks to everyone who read the interviews all summer long. I’d like to know which interviews/people you liked the most this summer, who do you remember after countless interviews and why? Also if you are ready for a new format of questions/interviews and your thoughts? Here are the 2011 Industry Profiles in case you missed them: Axis Media Founder Mike Basher Video Producer Tyler Malay AM Snowboarder Emily [&#8230;]]]></description>

Currently I am: Eating a sandwich [singlepic id=10038 w=400 h=300 float=] Shay: Tell us a little bit about yourself Matt: My name is Matt Wibby. I grew up in Bellingham, WA, splitting time between soccer and sneaking away from practice to go snowboarding. After graduating from High School, packed my bags and went to CWU in Ellensburg, WA. Spent a couple years doing the college party thing and figured out living in the middle of nowhere was not the life for me, headed back to Bellingham and went to college on and off for years, interned at K2 snowboards and eventually graduating from WWU in 2005 with a Marketing Degree. Originally hired back in March 2005 to be the Marketing Coordinator for frequency: The Snowboarders Journal and now am the Director of Marketing and Advertising for Funny Feelings LLC, publishers of frequency: The Snowboarders Journal, The Flyfish Journal and The Ski Journal. I enjoy hair metal, mid 90’s gangster rap and looking for the world’s perfect sandwich. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The 2009 Industry Profiles composed of 36 individuals, from June to October every Tuesday and Thursday in an interview series that showcased various jobs within the industry.  Over 30 companies were represented this year from the smallest to the largest. Industry Profiles came out of a need to fill the summer void but also to go behind the scenes and interview people who impact snowboarding from those who work at shops to those who run companies.  Some of them you may have never heard of, but they might design the products you use on the mountain and others you might be very familiar with their names but have never known their story.  The end result is a long interview where you see which jobs allow more riding days, what background experience has helped them into their roles and what their thoughts are on the current issues. A huge thanks to everyone who participated and who shared their story this summer!  Each time I received an Industry Profile, it was rad to see how each person shared or interpreted the questions and their own thoughts (not the companies) on what they do.
