Eric is General Manager of HitchSource.com and comes from an extensive business development background across many industries working with direct sales and building distributor networks. A results driven professional with high energy and ambition, yet he knows the meaning of the phrase "I work to live - not live to work". Eric is an avid cyclist who enjoys the lifestyle of living in the Columbia River Gorge (location of HitchSource World Headquarters) and when he is not busy applying his skills to help grow HitchSource he can be seen playing in the outdoors with his wife and 2 energetic boys!

David Shepard - AKA The Rainmaker - is the new guy stirring stuff up at HitchSource.com. Always quick with a joke keeping it light around the office. He comes from Michigan, but will tell you it's pronounced "the mitten". David spent 20 years as the CFO / Controller of an automotive marketing / special events company before an RV adventure for 3 months with his 3 daughters, some extra friends of his children, his wife and the family dog around the US inspired him to find a way to make the West his home. Settling on Oregon seemed pretty logical for a family of ski bums with Mt. Hood and spinning chairlifts all year, but now it's pretty much anything he can do outside. Summer weekends are spent exploring on foot up in the mountains and down the rivers in his Kayak (haha… or his un-planned swims out of the Kayak). Winter, it's all about being on the Mountain hopefully moving smooth through fresh powder. David is the guy in the office that one day for sure will be a "full-timer" playing gipsy in an RV and is by far the handsomest guy at the HitchSource.com shop.
