Kirby: How would you describe your relationship with Corie?

I believe my relationship with Corie is your typical father son relationship with a lot of the same interests, hobbies, and values. We enjoy the outdoors, hunting, fishing, motorcycles, and physical fitness.

Corie: What are some of your favorite memories spent with your dad?

My best memories were spent growing up on the farm.

Kirby: What’s it like working at the same company as your son?

It has been very rewarding as a parent watching Corie grow into the fine young man that he is with great work ethic and values at home and the workplace.

Corie: Where and when do you wear your denim?

I wear my denim to work and when I go out.

Kirby: Light or dark wash?

Dark for work, light for play.

Corie: What kind of jeans were you into in high school?

Wranglers and Dickies.

Kirby: How has your jean preference changed over the years?

Preference has not changed much, years ago my favorite was Levis 501. Jeans have come a long way, what we used to think was worn out is now fashion. There are so many different choices from color of washes to stretch denim that’s very comfortable.

Corie: When it comes to denim, function or fashion?

Function, because I can make any jean fashionable.
