Maria joined Coaxsher in April of 2010. Maria's passion is to create and sew and it shows in everything she puts her hands on.
Personal Bio:
I've had sewing jobs since I was 13 years old. Even in my spare time I find myself sitting behind a sewing machine - just can't get enough of it I guess. =) I worked for Jansport in the past. While at Jansport I learned to create and sew backpacks along with many other outdoor gear products. In my off time I enjoy sewing, cooking, and decorating for events and family parties.


Rowena joined Coaxsher in November of 2011. Rowena for sure lightens the mood in production with her sense of humor and funny jokes. There is no joking around when she's at the sewing machine though, Rowena delivers serious skills in all areas in production.
Personal Bio:
I grew up in the rice fields in the Philippines as a little girl. My first paying job was painting figurines and then on to making thread in textiles. My 1st sewing job was at Reebok where I worked myself up to line leader. At the age of 28 I immigrated to the USA and worked at Olympic Sportswear in Seattle WA. I like collecting antique glassware and cruising garage sales. I also truly enjoy learning about other culture's way of life.


Silvia joined Coaxsher in March of 2012. Hard to find Silvia without a smile on her face - she is always positive and has a great work ethic. Silvia has great skills on many of our industrial sewing machines and fits right in at Coaxsher.
Personal Bio:
I was born in Michoacan, Mexico and came to the USA 17 years ago. Over the years I have worked many different jobs. My mother taught me the skill of sewing when I was 14 years old. Joining Coaxsher was the first major introduction to industrial sewing machines for me. From my many years experience designing and sewing it was easy to adapt to the industrial machines. I really enjoy my job because it's what I've always liked to do. Some of my favorite hobbies are cooking and photography. I like to enjoy the beauty of nature.


Eva joined Coaxsher in June of 2012. Eva loves talking on the phone, hence the photo. That's a big reason why she's the office manager extraordinaire. Eva does great in all areas of her work at Coaxsher, and is an amazing multitasker.

Eric joined Coaxsher in Feb. of 2013. Eric knew Kyle and Kevin back in the day from connections in the outdoor gear industry. Eric fits right in at Coaxsher with his love of gear and the outdoors.
Personal Bio:
I have an intense love for rugged, efficient simplicity. I've been climbing and backpacking for 20+ years, and I'm fanatic about gear. From my home-sewn ultralight camping gear to the hand modifications I make to every pack I own, I'm constantly seeking the most efficient solution. I've climbed 22 peaks in Washington. (so far!)
A father to three increasingly tough kids, my hobbies include climbing, hiking, scrambling, downhill and cross-country skiing, bushcraft, snow camping. I've worked in the outdoor industry for more than 15 years, and have also managed production systems within manufacturing facilities.


Kyle Cox joined forces with Kevin and Brian a few months after Coaxsher was founded in 2001. Kyle decided to take on the duties of trying to sell the first Coaxsher creations. Kyle spent many long nights teaching himself how to be a web site designer, graphic designer, accountant, salesman, and probably 10 other duties that a new business owner must teach himself. Today, Kyle heads up sales, marketing, and advertising efforts. He also loves brainstorming new product design ideas.
Personal Bio:
My first jobs were with the USDA Forest Service based out of the Entiat Ranger District. With the USFS I worked in silviculture, road maintenance, and of course FIRE! In fire I worked both on the Entiat IA Crew and also the Entiat IHC. I truly enjoy being outdoors.
I graduated from Entiat High School in 1996. I have two AA degrees. The first is an Associate in Arts and Sciences degree from Green River Community College. The second is an Associate of Applied Science degree from Renton Technical College.

Kevin co-founded Coaxsher in the early days with a great friend Brian Asher. The idea was simple, let's make outdoor gear with better designs and function.
