Bob Rief
Executive Director, San Diego Sports Innovators

 

"I am a transplanted local, my Dad being a Navy man, we often lived in Coronado, but spent plenty of time throughout the US and Japan. Our hometown of record is Deadwood, South Dakota; my first job there was a miner 5000 feet underground! In the many years since high School, I have been in the outdoor business, one way or the other.  My career (?) path is pretty random: Ski Rep, Ski Boot Product Line manager, National Sales manager, EVP marketing/Sales, GM of Merrell Boots, president of Nike Golf, VP of Callaway Golf, President, Reef sandals, CEO Sanuk, Partner Boardworks, CEO OTZ Footwear. I have been the beneficiary and occasional victim of many transactions and business endeavors. I currently head San Diego Sport Innovators, an incredible opportunity for me to help nurture young businesses in Sport and Active Lifestyle segment. My wife of 50 years and I live in Cardiff and with occasional surf trips to our casa on the East Cape in Cabo."
