In 1958, two skiers decided they loved the sport so much, they would open up a ski shop on West Colfax Ave. Back in those days, Ed and Gale Crist spent their weekends rounding up their customers in a yellow bus to head for the ski slopes. Today, Christy Sports remains a company of skiers and riders who love to play. In the early 70's, we followed our hearts and opened stores at Copper Mountain and Vail. Being closer to the mountains meant we could be closer to the sport. The rest is pretty much history. Christy Sports now has over 40 locations throughout the Rocky Mountains. As a result, most of our employees are serious skiers and snowboarders who have a genuine desire to serve our customers. After so many years in the ski business we know that there's no such thing as the "best equipment." There's only the equipment that's best for you. Choosing the right gear requires a great deal of experience and a great selection of product. At Christy Sports, you'll find both. As serious skiers and riders, we take your complete satisfaction personally. That's why you won't find a thing in our stores that we haven't put to the test ourselves. Don't you think skiers ought to be in the ski business' Come see what a difference it makes. Christy Sports LLC is currently the largest specialty ski and snowboard retailer and snowsport service specialist in the Rocky Mountain region. The key here is we are specialists in a very exciting and challenging industry. Skiing, snowboarding, snow-shoeing, mountain biking, and outdoor furniture are our areas of specialty in the outdoor sports industry.

Somewhere on the other side of 40, Julie Allinson found herself in need of reading glasses. With the help of her optician friend (and future design collaborator) she set out to find the perfect pair. After carefully selecting her ideal frames, the final total left her with the type of sticker shock usually associated with a luxury sports car purchase or hotel mini-bar tab. A frugal farm girl at heart, Julie couldn’t bear the thought of spending the GDP of a small country on an item that would inevitably end up lodged between the sofa cushions. When she inquired about a more reasonably priced alternative, she was directed to the rack at the local drugstore. The memory of what she saw there haunts her to this day… As a successful woman with carefully curated personal style, didn’t her eyes deserve better? And there it was, her ‘a ha' moment. If what she was looking for didn’t exist, then she would just have to make it. Allinson quickly left her job at a children’s clothing company and set to work with a singular vision: to create a line of distinctive, high-quality reading glasses for people like her, the irreverent and slightly jaded. Since starting eyebobs in 2001, that vision has become an all-consuming passion. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Allinson and her dedicated team of optical misfits live to outfit the eyes of the smart, sarcastic and style conscious among us. Frames range from buttoned up conservative to avant garde, each crafted with exceptional quality and a dose of Allinson’s signature wit and style. eyebobs were created for the square pegs. The black sheep. The people who dare to be unapologetically themselves. Put them on and you will get noticed. Wallflowers need not apply. In March of 2015 eyebobs joined forces with Norwest Equity Partners, a leading middle market investment firm. Also based in Minnesota, Norwest Equity Partners, or “NEP” as the cool kids call it, has been investing alongside business owners and their management teams since 1961. This investment capital is a significant milestone for eyebobs and will fuel their next stage of growth. So look out eyes, they’re coming for you!

As the only collection agency in the U.S. focused exclusively on deceased accounts, DCM Services' process has become an industry standard for all creditors. It's this singular focus, this precise attention that is core to their success. As a data-driven, survivor-sensitive organization, DCM Services focuses on the efficiency and tact that probate-based collections provide to their clients. Since the Company's founding in 1999, they've focused on estates for three critical reasons: - By pursuing recoveries through the estate process, DCM Services protects their client brands. They maximize contact with the appropriate estate representatives, such as the personal representative or estate attorney, while eliminating unnecessary contact with survivors of the deceased account holder. - DCM Services' approach to account recoveries honors the intentions of the decedent who, while alive, set aside funds in an estate to pay creditors after his or her death, without bother to survivors. - And finally, though claims against probated estates have longer liquidation cycles than non probated estates, probate claims can liquidate at rates substantially higher than non-probated estates and can represent a significant share of recoveries.

Becker Underwood’s core competency is the rapid commercialization of breakthrough R&D. The culture of practical, demand-led innovation that pervades the company is supported by expertise in the discovery of new products, the development of efficient and effective manufacturing processes and know-how in biological formulations that have been developed over the company’s 30-year history. The global population continues to grow at a robust pace. According to United Nations estimates, there are 7 billion people in the world today, a figure that is expected to exceed 8 billion by 2025. In addition to population expansion, income growth, particularly in Asia and emerging markets, is creating a new middle class that seeks a diet with more animal protein, which requires significantly increased crop production to support herds. Growing demand for all food, fiber, and feed crops will continue into the foreseeable future. Technologies that increase yield are in high demand. With rising crop demand, commodity prices, and limited land (some of which is now used for biofuels), growers are seeking and willing to pay for tools that maximize their yield. This is where Becker Underwood has focused its efforts in the last six years, using insights and data gained over decades. Leading technology, proven products, and relationships with leading seed and crop-protection companies, distributors, retailers, and growers have helped to drive the company’s history of uninterrupted growth.
