Farewell...

To the greatest district of all time...

I am not even sure where to begin. All the great things Zumiez did for me and my family, all the great times we spent working side-by-side, the friendships made across the country, the laughter, the hustle, the long nights and early mornings - the list could go on and on.

I guess there isn't really anything left to say except... THANK YOU!

026: Buckley, Catnip, Jayme, Baby Ty Ty, Rochie, Christian and more - we hustled some peeps! To think about all the times we emptied peoples wallets and put their green in our tills! Although I only worked with your store for 8 months I really came to love the experiences up there! I hope you keep having dance offs -remember of course, that I was the reigning Champ!

030: Hoff, Jakie boy, Cassidy, LTrain, David and more - man, we spent some time together. Keep Hoff off the fry sauce and the terrible 80's music (although I just heard Creed put out there first album in Wisco). Jake, we will always have the R&B dance... The Dirty Thirty was my second home and I loved every one of you! Keep hustlin', dont ever let the legend die!

035: Jen (Jenny bear, Roast Beef), Matthew Dickhead Gale, Adri, ARod and more - geez, could you sell snow! I rode you guys hard - but only because I knew you could perform at the highest level! Keep the man off your back and keep making days!

044: Lone Wolf, Sam, BenJammin, Jen Ksomething and more - I enjoyed our Wale talks, our R&B background vocals and the messy messy cashwrap. Work as a team and you guys can achieve anything!

045: Tommy Too Tough, The Mangler, Big Rob and more - It seems like I was just in your store... oh wait, I was. I was disgusted at the lady washing her hands in the soda fountain machine (stay away from that Subway), but was always excited to spend some good time with you boys. Remember... if you trust me it will work out!

050: WOW, NeffMaster, Da Bears, JBrady and more - How I have seen you grow. JBrady - maybe you can take my spot at 100K - you and X have deserved it! FIGHT THE MAN! I am going to miss making the commute to see your lovely (and colorful in Jons case) face! Never take down my Jon display! I will be looking for it! And Da Bears... sometime I will hit you back on all those busted CDS

098: Lil' Dynamite, JDaily, Brahp Brahp and more - what a team. My guess is you will win Manager of the Year (more like MGMT team of the year) as we all know Chase lead a great team! Chase - never stop pretending you are black! You got more steez than I could ever wish to have!

145: Duschanator, GChild, Big Bird and more - Duschanator, Staganator here - what a great team! Dont think I wont flip you off when I see you... Chase. And dont think I will ever "bones" high five with you Kyah.... GCHILD - take care of your lady and Brody first, everything else will work out - they are lucky to have you! Duscha.... we have talked.

236: MJ baby (self proclaimed MILF), March of the Penguins, The Answer, Cody, Stephen and more - you guys might be the rooks - but dont be fooled.... you can dominate! Get out there, have some fun and sell as much as you can to as many people as you can!

To all my peeps - thank you! I love you!
Wish me well...


-you stay classy
