Conrad Ferla: Rep of the Year for New England and Mid-Atlantic Territories in Skate, Surf, and Outdoor Categories

Conrad Ferla has emerged as the epitome of passion and commitment since joining the Hobie® Eyewear family. Demonstrating unwavering dedication from day one, Conrad strategically planned and executed exceptional service to his accounts, resulting in an impressive 50% growth in business within his territories over the past calendar year.
