Meet the SPoT Staff
A place is nothing without its staff. Below is the crew that makes it happen around here and some of the products they like from our Shop.

Lance is probably serving his replacement in the Snack Bar a hot piece of pie right now so he can corporate climb it right into a Shop position soon.

Matt Woods

You might find Matt Woods spacing out a bit in the shop every now and then, but Clem puts him back on track. Although Alex Sherrer birthed the grip tape ball, Matt has adopted it and loves it as his own baby.

Adam Kearley

Adam shoots product photos in Innetech (SPoT's back offices). Sometimes they need him to go ahead and come in on Saturday. That's when he draws stuff that SPoT puts on decks and t-shirts.

Jorge Angel

Porpe is like one quarter Ryan Clements and one quarter Brian Schaefer. He's still trying to fill in the other two quarters. He helps with a little bit of everything at SPoT, including all our events around the world.

Brian Schaefer
|
Schaefer started this place in 1993 and lived here while it got off the ground. Then he went and started a bar in Ybor called The Bricks. Find him there and he'll most likely buy you a beer and then bus your table.

Ryan Clements

Ryan is the General Manager here at SPoT and can be found doing anything from microphone banter at events to hiring and firing you. The Silver Bullet.
