My Story
I was born and raised in Estes Park, Colorado. I grew up Hiking, skiing, and riding my horse Gabriel through the Rockies. I worked in my family’s business from the age of 6 on. I worked in the restaurant, grocery store, the office the Delicatessen, the gas station. My favorite job was as a horse back guide for 3 years as a teen.
I met my husband in 1998. He loved to ski and travel to Hawaii. We married in 2001, had our son in 2003 and moved to the Big Island in 2005.
I worked at Alley Geckos in Kona for 8 years retailing island style home décor. I was the manager and buyer for 5 years and worked to stock our store with made in Hawaii gifts as well as island style jewelry. I tried to supply the perfect gift from Hawaii or the perfect souvenir from Hawaii for all of our visitors. Working with local artists and other wholesale representatives inspired me to start my wholesale business Kasey808. Our family move to Oahu in June of 2015 where I continued as a wholesale representative.
For the last 8 years I have been a full time wholesale representative traveling to all of the Islands. Having grown up in retail, I do have insight into what retailers need from me and their products. I love working with the store owners and their families and business associates. I am invested in helping each business thrive by offering new, fun, quality wholesale products. I like to think of myself as a partner not just a sales person.
When not being Kasey808 – I enjoy hiking, playing with our dog, playing piano and listening to my son play the guitar. And of course I love to go to the beach and most of all I love sushi dinners with my family! Lucky I live in Hawaii! Aloha! Kasey.
