Steve: My education opened my eyes to all kinds of creativity and taught me how to write effectively. Shay: How has your previous education or work experience helped you in your current job? We made some money commercial fishing in Alaska, bought 16mm cameras, and made our first movie, which generated a lot of buzz in the industry. We saw the Warren Miller film when it came out and thought we could make something a lot more progressive and relevant to the youth culture. We were sponsored by Rossignol at the time and were getting photos published in Powder Magazine as extreme skiers.
Steve: My brother and I were actually skiing as athletes for Warren Miller. Shay: How did you get your start in the industry, who or what opened up more opportunities for you? Steve: I moved from the East Coast to Jackson Hole after college and built my career based around the premise of being able to ride powder and travel the world for the rest of my life.
