The Team
Travis Rosen - Agency Principal
I began my career in the Outdoor Sporting Goods industry at 13, working as a shop assistant at a local bike retailer in Boulder, Colorado. After working up a sales position, I transitioned to representative roles at Recreational Resources and Pearl Izumi. I have been a sales representative in the outdoor recreation industry since 1996. As the principal of Adventure Labworks, I take great pride in our agency's work.
Outside of work, I am a proud father of two daughters and enjoy spending time with my wife and our two English Labs, Riggins, and Brisket. While I have always been passionate about cycling, I have shifted my focus to spending time with my family in our adventure van in recent years.
In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, indulging in a good bottle of wine and traveling with my wife away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, when July rolls around, you can find me glued to the TV watching Le Tour, while the later months of the year are filled with Colorado Buffaloes Football and Basketball.
Dave Klopp - Territory Manager (ID, MT & WY)
I was raised and lived in small Maine coastal towns until Kim and I met and moved to Utah in 1998. We were expecting to be ski bums for 1 winter then move back to Maine. A good friend talked us into staying the next summer. Here we are….
I grew up enjoying the outdoors and have always spent my time pursuing any outdoor adventure I could find: sailing, golf, any kind of paddling (from canoeing to whitewater), any kind of sliding on snow, and mountain biking. I’m not big on TV.
I always felt that working in a fun environment was best for me. So here I am at K&P. I work with products that I use and with people that have the same interests as I do.
On winter weekends you will find me with "family" in the backcountry or a local ski hill. On summer weekends you can find me in one of the Park City trails or local rivers.
I also enjoy brewing beer (while enjoying several), my dogs, my family, my friends, and my lovely wife.....maybe not in that order.Dave Klopp - Territory Manager (UT, WY, ID & MT)
George Knaggs - Territory Manager (CO, NM, KS, NE & MO)
Born in Ann Arbor Michigan, I came to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado. I have lived in Colorado longer than anywhere else. I think of Louisville, CO as my hometown, where I live with my wife, Kiki, my daughter Heidi, two black lab’s; LuLu & Kitty, and Mary the cat.
My outdoor activities started with skiing when I was three and include hiking, sailing, water sports, and mountain biking. Bicycle road racing became my passion after college. While I don’t have the time to race much these days I still enjoy a good bike ride with friends and coworkers.
I started working in the retail side of the sporting goods industry while attending college. For several years, I worked in Bicycle Retail as a manager and buyer. One of those stores happened to be where Travis was the “shop rat”. From then on, I moved into my career as a road warrior (aka Sales Rep).
Michael Kincaid - Territory Manager (North TX, AR & OK)
I’ve been active my whole life, and obsessed with two wheels ever since I can remember. I started riding motorcycles when I was about 7 years old, and raced by the time I was 10, all the while playing catcher and quarterback for local YMCA teams. I focused on racing motocross throughout my teens and early twenties, which led me to my next infatuation: bicycles. I’ve raced mountain and road bikes over the last 14 years with great grassroots, non-profit, and national amateur teams. I have benefitted from strong relationships and great opportunities through cycling, including the chance to translate my passion for and background in the industry into a sales role at Kahl and Partners.
Outside of work, I have an active family, including two young sons. I ride whenever I can, which often comes after knocking out baseball, soccer, and basketball games, trips to the local BMX track and mountain bike trails, or kayaking at the family lake house. We love to move and to be outdoors, which makes representing these seem like second nature! Did I also mention that - like most of my friends, family and co-workers - I enjoy great coffee and craft beers?
Austin Howard - Sales Representative (UT)
I was born in Plano, Texas and raised in Fruit Heights, Utah. My parents quickly introduced me to skiing at the age of 6 where I feel in love with winter sports. I started snowboarding at the age of 12 and to this day try to switch off every other day between the two.
My winter sports obsession led me into my first job at age 14 with Pedersen’s Ski & Sports. I worked as a sales floor manager and shop tech until I was 18. I then worked at Snowbasin Ski Resort as a Ski Tech for a season before leaving on a two year service mission for my church in Honduras. After returning I started my college education and started working at Bikers Edge in Kaysville, UT when my newest addiction to cycling started.
I graduated from Weber State University a little under 2 years later with my Bachelor’s Degree in Professional Sales.
Cycling has become my favorite hobby. I love the sport and the friends that I’ve meet doing it along the way. If I’m not working, biking, or climbing you can find me on our 1978 Mastercraft Stars and Stripes swerving around the buoys.
Steve Plass - Territory Manager (OR, WA & AK)
I was born and raised in just outside of Seattle, Washington in the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range. I grew up appreciating the outdoors and everything that the Pacific Northwest’s mountains and coastline has to offer. In 2017 I moved with my family to Bend, Oregon where I am currently based. I enjoy skiing, cycling, sea kayaking, photography, camping in any season, good coffee, wine, and beer.
I started working in the outdoor industry while in college at the University of Washington in Seattle, beginning my car rack career in rack specialty. I then transitioned to an outside rep for a number of products in the outdoor and sporting industry and have been a manufacturer’s rep since. I’m at home in the outdoor industry and love being a part of it.
When I am not working, you can find me spending time with my family. My wife and I like to travel and see as much of the world as possible. Now that we have two amazing little kids our favorite past time is doing our best to show them the outdoors and all that the world has to offer.
Dan Muller - Sales Representative
(Colorado Mountains)
Hailing from the great state of New Jersey, I found myself outside doing anything I could to keep myself from living a life indoors. Growing up riding bikes, dirt bikes, fishing, boating, and snowboarding, I took my passion for the outdoors to Vermont where I attended Champlain College and worked at one of the top specialized outdoor retailers in New England. This experience in retail sparked my intertest in starting a career in the industry.
Soon after graduating, I made my way out to Colorado chasing a dream of climbing, riding, and working in the outdoor industry. A few years and a couple jobs later, I achieved that dream and have been living it to the max.
My passion for the outdoors has taken me to some amazing places and sparked a desire to explore and push my boundaries in every aspect of life.
