Smith Optics Surf Marketing and Promotions Manager position has been filled by Chris Drummy. Drummy will be responsible for all surf team management and marketing operations in Smith Optics satellite office in San Clemente, California.
Drummy comes to Smith Optics with a wealth of experience in both the competitive and operational aspects of the surf industry. Growing up in San Juan Capistrano, California, in a surf-entrenched family, he began competing at age 14, turning pro at 22. A threat on the WQS tour for five years, Drummy established himself as a respected and talented surfer. Last month, he finished 4th in the Cold Water Classic in Santa Cruz, California.
Never lacking in energy, Drummy most recently juggled multiple duties as a sales rep for Gravis, Analog and Creatures of Leisure and oversaw the Arnette surf team, all while continuing to surf competitively. At Smith Optics he will oversee all surf team functions, work with the in-house sales team in San Clemente to continue to build Smiths presence in surf, and be the eyes and ears of marketing operations in Southern California.
“Drummys versatile background in many aspects of our business coupled with his reputation in the surf world will make him a solid contributor to our team. We are excited to have him on board,” says Kerry Marumoto, Smiths Senior Vice President of Marketing.
