His favorite PMANC moment came a few years ago when PMANC held a tradeshow outside the Fossa Apparel factory. He was able to set up his booth right outside his campervan. It was the first time anyone in North Cali had seen his van in person. He remembered it was a beautiful day, and the turnout was great!

5. - Do you have a hobby, interest or talent that your fellow members may not know about you?

While many know him for his travels in his campervan with his dog DinDin across his territory selling promotional products, there's a hidden side that some may not be aware of. Traveling in the van freely allows him to explore breathtaking destinations like secluded beaches, mesmerizing national parks, and unexpected waterfalls. Embracing the nomadic lifestyle, he loves taking the road less traveled, savoring moments to slow down, immersing himself in nature through hiking, and refining his photography skills.

6. - What is your all time favorite promo item and why?
Quinn’s a big music listener and can't function without it. He has really enjoyed all the new speakers from Rupt, but his favorite one thus far is the Soundo. It's been his go-to pocket speaker that has gone everywhere with him, from snowboarding to golfing to hiking to beaches and many other places. He has been blown away by the sound quality and volume that the speaker produces.
