Dakine, a producer of backpacks, travel bags, accessories, outerwear and clothing, appointed Gabe Schroder to the role of mountain bike marketing manager.

After graduating from Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA, Schroder moved to Vail, CO before taking an internship at Powder Magazine. Since 2005, he’s resided in Ketchum, ID where he managed the ski and bike marketing programs at Smith for 10 years.

“Gabe brings a tremendous wealth of experience and energy to our team, and we’re excited for him to join our efforts in growing Dakine’s presence in the MTB community,” said Shawn La Rowe, VP of product and marketing.

Schroder will report directly to La Rowe remotely from Ketchum.
