so a little about what I’m doing this summer.

my first job is an internship through the Oregon Sports Authority (http://www.oregonsports.org/). I am part of a team of interns, currently focusing on promoting the AST Dew Tour (http://www.ast.com/). So far we have been distributing posters and flyers to skate shops across Portland and getting involved in extreme sports events as well. For example, last weekend I worked at a booth at a wakeboard competition, handing out fliers and spreading the word about the Dew Tour. It was good experience for creating a personal relationship with customers and learning how to effectively get someone’s attention and maintain a conversation about the event. I had a good time and saw myself improve as the day went on.

My second job is working part-time at the Nike Employee Store in Beaverton. My title is a “seasonal sales associate”. My training starts on monday, i’m looking forward to it. I’m really glad to get my foot in the door with Nike, hoping to stay with it and work my way up.

Should be a busy summer working two jobs but it’ll be good experience.

Here’s a preview of this year’s skate vert competition at the AST Dew Tour (http://video.astdewtour.com/player/?id=145544#videoid=258238)
