Fast forward after my Cal State Northridge business major years, and I read an ad for an available customer service job at a fly fishing reel manufacturer in Camarillo, CA. After several interviews amongst a great deal of competitors for the position, I was offered the role by Steve Abel on the condition that I attend an 8 week fly fishing course through a local college. Amazingly, that was over 25 years ago, and over that time I have been groomed from a customer service representative to my current position as the EVP for Abel, and the director of sales and marketing for Abel and Ross Reels upon the Ross brand acquisition several years ago.
