“Granite Gear has been a major supporter of Warrior Expeditions since its founding in 2013,” said Sean Gobin, executive director of Warrior Expeditions. “We are honored to have Rob Coughlin join our team and offer his experience in the outdoor industry, which will add a valuable perspective to our board composition.”
In 2018, Warrior Expeditions will add a total of four new Board of Directors with experience in: veteran affairs, mental health, land management and outdoor retail. Leveraging this experience, Warrior Expeditions will continue to offer innovative programs helping veterans find peace and healing in the outdoors. As the VP of marketing & sales for Granite Gear since 2013, Coughlin’s experience and values align well with Warrior Expedition’s mission.
“Over the past several years, Granite Gear has had the honor of outfitting veterans during their impactful outdoor expeditions,” said Coughlin. “I’m extremely humbled to be part of the Warrior Expedition’s Board of Directors and continuing our service to those who served.”
