Meet Andrew

I’m an Type 2 Fun enthusiast based in New York who spends as much time as I can skiing, hiking, biking, and exploring the Adirondacks. Skiing in particular has been a huge part of my life, from growing up skiing at Whiteface to exploring backcountry terrain all across the High Peaks Wilderness. I love being outside because it gives me a chance to challenge myself, disconnect from everyday life, and experience places that you can’t get to from behind a desk.

What do you love about the Burrow Hoodie?

There is so much to love about the Burrow Hoodie. The quality and craftsmanship that is in put into every garment is the best you can get, coming from someone who works in the outdoor industry. On the other note the customizations options are endless. Allowing for endless unique opportunities so any user can look good and also feel confident wearing it. 

Anything else you love about Thuja clothing in general?

Thujas involvement with the community! Thuja makes custom burrows for various organizations, non profits, and clubs across the country. I've been fortunate enough that they work with my company Ski Or Die NY and boy did they hit a homerun with the design!
