Ian Roy
Founder, Owner, Operator at KNARNIA
Summary
I have a very diverse work background, starting with teaching swim lessons and life guarding I quickly fell in love with working outdoors. I then began working as a lift operator while going to school, tried wildland firefighting for a summer, then back to swim lessons for a summer, went to Alaska to work a professional job during the summers. During my time at school I held a variety of positions in the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity, which have provided me with unparalleled human management experience. These include: Treasurer, Housing Manager, Fundraising Chair, Philanthropy Chair. The same week as graduation, I started my own clothing brand and online website for environmentally conscious adventurers called KNARNIA. However, with any startup, it still has a ways to go before it can become my sole source of income so I am seeking a position that allows me to work with people that have a passion for the outdoors and adventure while I continue to build the brand.
My diverse experience enables me to fit into any environment whether it be corporate meetings or shoveling snow, and I'll do it all with a smile on my face and a never give up attitude.
