I'm April Voki and you are listening to Anchored. My chance to speak with some of the most influential

people involved in the outdoors today. Join me as I sit down with my guests to learn more about their

careers, opinions, history, relationships, and lifeboat indoors and out. Rich Stupor is a native

Montana who worked in the inflatable business specifically manufacturing watermaster rafts
