Staff
David Craycraft
David started skiing when he was just a kid and has been on the slopes ever since. Foiled in his attempt to go to college in the mountains, and not brave enough to quit and be a ski bum, he finally landed in a ski shop when he came to Doc's in 2005.

Miller Craycraft
Though he hasn't spent as much time in the snow as the rest of the staff, six-year-old Miller knows his way around the ski slopes and the ski shop. When he's not in school or playing with friends, Miller can often be found entertaining visitors at the shop. He's also the official tester of all of the kid's equipment, and if you ask him for a ski recommendation, he'll let you in on a secret, "The red ones go fast!"

Grant Adam
Born and raised in South Africa Grant cast his first fly line at age 11. Grant is a versatile fly fisherman that is just as comfortable in the surf as in a stream. He moved to LA two years ago and enjoys the year-round fishing California offers. His most memorable fishing experience is fishing the mouth of the St Lucia estuary in South Africa, catching blue fish on surface plugs.

Mark Dowd
A Hermosa Beach native, Mark's passion for extreme sports is strong. If Mark isn't in the ski shop, he's out on the slope or, in off seasons, he's surfing the California coast. When he's not living the sport, he's dreaming about it. "I can't remember a time when I didn't have a skiing or surfing dream." Mark has skied for five Warren Miller films and been employed by Snowbird, Kirkwood and Mammoth.

Since then his ski shop resume has expanded to include REI, Erehwon Mountain Outfitter, Ski Barn, Viking Ski Shop, U.S Orthotic Center and Doc’s. Kevin taught skiing and snowboarding at Wilmot Mountain and has skied all over the U.S and Canada as well as countless peaks in South West Colorado while backcountry skiing.
