We thought we’d share this great photo of John Sears, Gregory’s Director of New Product Development, a) because he’s one of the mind
s behind a lot of great ideas at Gregory, including helping co-develop the new Bio-Sync suspension we talked about a few posts ago, and b) because it looks like he’s spinning tunes from the DJ booth, not designing packs.
What is he doing? Talking on Skype to Harry Kondo, one of Gregory’s key partners in product development and distribution in Japan. Among many other things he does day-to-day, John works closely with Harry to make sure the products that Gregory designs specifically for Japan and other Asian markets make it to the shelves as envisioned, and Skype’s certainly become a helpful tool for working between offices on opposite sides of the world.
Those shades must be so that things look like Skype sounds.
Now cue up some soul, my man.


Boy, that John Sears guy is a hottie! Sign me up for the Bio-Sync or anything he designs!
With a response like that you may just earn yourself a custom fit pack…stop by our office in Sacramento and I’ll see what I can do!
I am headed to San Fran in October! I will definitely stop by!
