The biggest news around the Titensor household for the past several weeks is a change in occupation! Tyson has officially become the Director of Finance and Operations for a boutique ski company, DPS Skis. Travari has been moved to a side project for now and may gain back momentum in the summer during the off-season for DPS (Drake Powder Skis).
Tyson has eyed DPS skis on the ski hill long before now. Purely by coincidence, a friend from business school passed along a consulting project to Tyson to be paid for in skis. Of course, he couldn’t pass up an opportunity like that! Over the summer, Tyson helped DPS with their business plan, and the working relationship ultimately evolved into hiring Tyson full time to ramp up this small company. They’re currently raising funding for growth in the ‘09-’10 season. Coming soon, DPS is offering free demos at a ski resort near you!
It’s been a fun, eye-opening, fascinating, and stressful transition for Tyson, but he’s tackled the new challenges very well. He gets to work from home and we occasionally get to host the founder/designer, Stephan Drake, when he’s passing through the Front Range. I’ve heard some great ski tales, that’s for sure!
We’re looking forward to the upcoming season with our new sticks, pure carbon beauties!
