Marcus Miller– Alpine Shop Kirkwood Assistant Manager

Name: Marcus Miller
Date Started at Alpine Shop: 10-12-2015
Which Alpine Shop location do you work at?  Kirkwood
Official Title: Assistant Manager
What do you do at Alpine Shop?
I get to talk about my hobbies and cool gear all day to customers, usually about Bicycles, Camping, and Ski Gear

Where are you from?
I am from Ballwin, Mo., a small township within St. Louis County. I have access to great mountain biking in the area with places including but not limited to Castlewood State Park, Greensfelder Conservation Area, and the Zombies Trail at Rock Hollow. Visit Gateway Off Road Cyclists online for great information and maps of these areas.

What is your passion?
My passion would have to be Mountain Biking, Skiing, and Back Country Camping. I engage in all of these activities at least once a year. My brother moved to Colorado almost 10 years ago and me visiting all the time got me into "mountain-type" activities. Also, a family trip to Lake Tahoe in the winter starting around the same time really got me into skiing. I enjoy being outside and having a job that revolves around that. Learning and engaging with all the different outdoor brands is of great interest to me.

Where is your favorite place to "Get Outside Yourself"?
Mountain biking at Castlewood, Zombie Trails, or Greensfelder is the majority of outdoor activities I do. Breckenridge will always have a special place in my heart for it was the first place I went and explored in Colorado with my brother 10 years ago. Also, he recently got married on Peak 9 in Breckenridge so I will never forget those moments. The Rocky Mountains in general, I would have to say is my favorite place to "Get Outside Yourself."

What is your dream adventure?
My current dream adventure would be to road trip to Banff and then Whistler to do some Back country camping and mountain biking, especially downhill biking at the resorts

Favorite product/brand that we sell? Arc'teryx

What do you enjoy doing that doesn't relate to the outdoors? I enjoy a nice evening on the couch watching the Cardinals game with a cold brew.

Favorite Book? Arc'teryx Catalog…haha
