“We are proud and honored to expand our board membership with a powerhouse group of experts and leaders from businesses and industries that have helped shape the outdoors,” said Roy Tuscany, founder and CEO. “We are also thrilled to have Susan Stone join as our board president and lend her passion and extensive business and leadership experience to High Fives.”
