Brensinger was named for Manufacturing—Small Company.

“I am honored to be recognized as one of NH Business Review’s Business Excellence Award recipients,” said Brensinger. “Starting a business fresh out of college was no easy task, with no clear roadmap. But because I surrounded myself with intelligent, dedicated and hardworking folks who are just as passionate about the products we design as they are about enjoying them outdoors, it’s made the journey possible. We’ve overcome challenges and celebrated successes together, both in the office and in the mountains. NEMO has certainly been the greatest adventure of my life.”
