Employees:

Ed – Owner. Respected by all and feared by none. He’s that nice, loveable guy that will get to know your name and always has a smile on his face. Having been in the business for 24 years he has tried just about every piece of clothing for his many excursions. From climbing the Grand Tetons to competing in challenging adventure races, bike races, etc. he will tell you what it takes...

Brian – Owner. You might not recognize him in the grocery store because he’s our “behind the scenes” guy. He balances everything from the checkbook to our marketing strategies, another company and many children. A true family man... You will often see his offspring working for the store during their breaks from school.

Sarah – Manager/Buyer. She’s our blond in control. Working for Ed and Brian for 11 years, she knows the details about every particle in the store. She enjoys trips to Maine; hiking in Costa Rica, Japan, China, and Europe (to name a few); and taking her dog, Skye, for walks every day at BVA or the Laurels. Her last backpacking expedition was at Glacier National Park in Montana. PS- did we mention she owns almost every item we carry? Who's jealous?

Alicia - Manager/Sales. She recently received her degree in Social Work from West Chester, so she's been hired full-time. YAY. She bakes a mean cookie for the staff, plays guitar, and smiles. Her instant impression of innocence leaves no question of sleazy sales...but somehow she'll have you smiling with her and visiting your grandmother when you’re done buying half of Trail Creek.

Cat – Part-time Community Relations, Marketing and Sales. She’s a runner, a hiker and a true outdoor and natural health enthusiast who comes with a side of smiles. She will tell you about Outward Bound, Colorado, New Mexico, Europe, the Cape Cod Marathon, the Breast Cancer 3-day and her new baby. ….try not to get cornered.

Heidi - Sales. It's her laugh you love to hear, which leaves a ringing in your ear. She brings to Trail Creek much cheer, although she only works part of the year. She's always around for the holiday, because her company (DIG IT!) hibernates in the winter day. She has much experience in the outdoors, so let her knowledge impress you inside Trail Creek doors.

Christine - Sales. Summer's over, her girls are back to school so she's baaaaaack...at Trail Creek. Many find themselves telling her their life story - we're thinking about setting up a little couch in the back so you can relax and release your deepest fears to Christine. Seriously, she'll get to know you (if you want) because that's the best way to know what you need. And who doesn't need anything at Trail Creek?

Kasse - Sales. He's in school getting a degree in Art. He laughs easily and is getting to know our product at lightening speed. He can also give a mean hair cut (please comment on how fabulous Ed's hair looks!).

Michelle - Sales. You'll see her running up and down Route 52 on any given day...ask her what she wears to stay comfortable, and she'll happily tell you...

Josh - Sales. Master of the stock room. Seriously, if we don't have it on the floor, Josh will give you the geographic coordinates of the item in it's box in our stock room.

Charlie - Sales. He's from horse country, so those of you wondering what outfit best suits your riding needs, he's your man. He also doesn't have a shy bone in his body, so don't be alarmed if you two are best friends by the time you leave Trail Creek.

Acorn – Sits. Even though she wouldn’t hurt a fly, she occasionally shows up to work with blood on her face. Gross.

Skye – Stays. Her beauty is breathtaking. But that’s not all that’s breathtaking: don’t get too close after Sarah fed her beans and raw vegetables for dinner the night before. Talk about gross.

Here's a note from our dear friend and former employee, Liz Dols, who has fought the cancer battle and WON. Please take a second to read her victorious story and help her reach another goal...
