Meet the Team

Andrew Prunesti

I work at ASN because I love the Action Sports community. My job lets me give back and help businesses out, because we do so much with and for shops. I get stoked about the new articles we post, and hearing about people’s stories and how they got their starts. Also, working for a company whose office is right next to the beach has its perks too--like never missing good swell. Growing up surfing in New Jersey taught me a lot of things, but none more important than having a sense of community. I feel like working at ASN, we are all part of that family and community so we can help grow it and make it better.

My favorite part of the job is definitely the personal interaction with shop owners. They are not your usual businessmen and business women! Plus, getting to surf when there are good waves, and always learning from the people around me and those that I do business with.

 

ASN is making a difference!  It is cool to be a part of that, and work with people who love what I love.  Plus, going into an office in baggies instead of a suit is key!

I received a job at ActionSportsNow.com as an Intern not knowing what I was getting myself into. It didn’t take long before I really started to love everything about this place, the atmosphere, our mission, our attitudes, and our outlook on life. My favorite part of the job is the office environment, all of us have a great sense of humor and are laughing all the time, but when it comes down to business, we get down and do work and we won't stop until something is done. Overall, ASN is a great place--out to make it, for the right reasons--and I am very grateful to be a part of this awesome team.

My favorite part about working at ASN is helping people who aren’t internet savvy to get their action sports business micro-site looking professional.  I also enjoy walking new subscribers through the steps of updating their photos and coupon, and getting to know them and their business’ history better.  Of course the fact that our office is 2 minutes from the beach doesn’t hurt either.

The great thing about ASN is that I get to work with the backbone of the action sports industry--the local businesses.  It is the coolest thing to meet with these owners and find out more about their story and perspective, and then share it with the world.  We are making a difference, and that is what ASN is all about!

  

What Are We Trying to Do?

We think great things happen when you walk into your local action sports shop. Not only do you get to handle and learn about key gear before you buy it, but more importantly, you learn about the culture and lifestyle of action sports. You learn about how to play your sport safely, and to follow the etiquette that makes you a welcome part of the scene. You hear stories about epic sessions at nearby hotspots and on the other side of the planet. In short, you join a community of people who love action sports. We think this deepens your enjoyment of the sport tremendously.

 

Giving Back, Too

ASN isn't just about making money. We want to use our website to call attention to excellent initiatives, charities and efforts to do good in the world. In our experience, action sports enthusiasts are generous, big-hearted and always ready to help out a worthwhile cause. So, we're happy to share our space to promote some great organizations that we're proud to call friends. Check out our current initiatives here.
