Dow Jones Description

Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributorship to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States.

Columbia is renowned for developing innovative products that are comfortable, protective, functional, stylish and offer great value. At the head of the company are 85-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, chairman of the board of directors, and her son, Tim Boyle, president and chief executive officer. Columbia's history began in the 1930s when Gert's parents fled Germany and settled in Portland, Oregon. They bought a small hat distributorship and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the family started manufacturing products themselves, and expanded the line to include jackets, fishing vests and shirts. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. In 1970, Neal died of a heart attack. He left behind three children, an expanding company leaning heavily on bank loans, and a wife without business experience. ...

Tim Boyle has served as president and chief executive officer of Columbia Sportswear Company since 1989 and oversees operations of the active outdoor company from its Portland, Oregon headquarters. Tim's career with Columbia Sportswear began in 1970 when, during his senior year at The University of Oregon, his father, who had been running the company since 1964, died suddenly of a heart attack. Tim's mother, Gert Boyle, quickly enlisted Tim's help in order to continue the aggressive expansion that her husband had initiated and that had expanded the company's sales that year to $1 million. After struggling for two years to regain momentum, the company began to grow. By 1997, sales had grown to more than $350 million and the company went public in March 1998. Today global sales are approximately $1.3 billion. An alumnus of Portland, Oregon's Jesuit High School (1967) and the University of Oregon (1971, B.S. Journalism), Tim provides business guidance as a board member of Craft Brewers Alliance Inc., and Northwest Natural Gas Co. He is also a board member of Oregon Trout and serves as a trustee of Reed College, Youth Outdoor Legacy Fund, and Boy's and Girl's Club of America.

Bob Izumi is Canada's most popular fishing personality and one of the foremost spokespersons on the sport. For over 25 years his weekly Real Fishing Show has educated and entertained legions of anglers, both young and old, on the finer points of fishing. Bob's infectious enthusiasm and approachable demeanour have made him a "TV-buddy" to millions of Canadians and, as anyone who has ever met him will agree, he's exactly the same down-to earth guy in person. Bob's unmatched credibility in the fishing world is due in part to his incredible success as a tournament angler. In 1979 Bob Izumi became Canada's first full-time professional fisherman and in nearly three decades of competitive fishing Bob has won more than 50 major events, far surpassing any other Canadian angler. He has won multiple Angler of the Year and Team of the Year titles and he is the only Canadian angler to win the Triple Crown of fishing; capturing the Canadian Open, the Classic Championship, and Angler of the Year title in a single season. Along with his television show and tournament career, Bob is an award winning author, seminar speaker, conservationist, and radio show host. His fishing seminars regularly sell out and his Real Fishing magazine, radio show and web site consistently draw huge audiences. His expertly polished presentation skills coupled with a deep passion for fishing have kept him in demand for over two decades. All accomplishments aside, what separates Bob from his contemporaries are his amiable manner and genuine love of fishing, qualities that put him in a league of his own.
