I grew up in Thailand and spent much of my childhood outdoors with my family. My father, an avid scuba diver, cyclist, mountaineer, and all-around outdoor enthusiast, inspired my love for adventure by taking us on incredible journeys around the world. After moving back to the United States, I discovered a passion for sewing—starting with fashion clothing for my mother and later creating custom cycle wear for my dad, among other projects.

Over the years, I earned a private pilot license, an FAA parachute rigger certificate, a USPA skydiving D-license, and a NAUI scuba certification. With a degree in Business Administration from UC Riverside, I launched my first business manufacturing skydiving jumpsuits and accessories. During this time, I also worked at Butler Parachutes, where I helped craft emergency pilot packs and prototype parachutes for the U.S. Navy—an exhilarating experience!

Eventually, I transitioned into teaching high school math after earning a teaching credential from CSU Fresno. However, when my youngest child graduated high school, I returned to my true passion: designing innovative products. Drawing on my diverse experiences in math, performance textiles, and adventure sports, I founded Gear Perspective. It has been thrilling to channel my lifelong love for the outdoors and creativity into crafting gear that elevates the adventures of outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

Gear Perspective represents not just a business but a culmination of my journey, blending passion, skill, and innovation to redefine outdoor experiences. Let’s explore the world together—one adventure at a time!
