Meet the SylvanSport Team<\/h1>\n

At SylvanSport, our products are made by awesome people who love having fun and working together. It’s about balance. We work hard so we can play hard. Literally. Off the clock, you’ll find us hiking, biking, camping, kayaking, and playing outdoors.<\/p>\n

Working for the weekends has never been so fun.
\nThat’s why we make the GO and the GO Easy, so we can get where we want to go, with all of our gear, friends, and family in tow.<\/p>\n

As a team, we’re big on talent, with decades of experience making outdoor products from the most respected companies in the industry. We’ve thought through every detail of what we do and how we do it, and selected the best people for every step along the way. And we couldn’t be any luckier to do what we love in beautiful Brevard, NC.<\/p>\n

As our company Founder and Chief Innovation Officer Tom Dempsey says, we’re not chasing the dream. We’re living it.<\/p>\n

Ready to GO your own way? We’ll work together to make it happen.<\/p>\n
