HYK: The People Behind the Name
How much do you know about the people behind your favorite products? Our small team at HYK began with just two people, but our products are used all over the world by thousands of adventure enthusiasts every day.
Read on to learn more about these talented folks who make your HYK experience possible.
The Inspiration Behind the Brand
Born from a couple who share a passion for hiking, but found that their gear just wasn't quite as bold and adventurous as they were. That's when the idea of HYK was born - a brand that could provide them with the confidence to tackle any terrain and explore any trail.
Their idea has grown into a powerful brand that stands for strength, courage, and exploration. What began as a shared passion between the couple has turned into something bigger, and they continue to be the driving force behind HYK's growth. They are constantly pushing themselves and others to explore more, dream bigger, and go further than before.
HYK is the embodiment of Joe and Steph's passion for adventure, and the people behind the name are the reason it exists today.
The Founders
Meet Joe and Steph, the creative minds behind HYK. They both bring a unique set of skills to the table, allowing HYK to offer something truly unique.
Joe’s background in business, combined with his natural creativity and love for travel and adventure, makes him an invaluable asset when it comes to creating innovative products that people will love. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for getting things done, Joe has been instrumental in helping HYK reach its goals.
Steph is our in-house historian and explorer, who loves nothing more than getting out into the great outdoors and discovering new sights. Her inquisitive nature makes her an instrumental member of the team; she always knows the best place to go and when it’s time to move on. This helps us stay one step ahead of the competition and ensures that our customers are always getting the latest and greatest products.
Together, Joe and Steph are the perfect combination. Their complementary skills, passion for adventure, and dedication to their craft make them the ideal team to lead HYK into the future.
