Jan joined the Orvis family in February ‘08 as the fishing manager for our Myrtle Beach retail location. Jan is a sound saltwater and warm water fisherman and is very excited about this opportunity to transfer his East Coast roots to the Gulf Coast region.

Yet it is the instant camaraderie created by the distinctive country lifestyle of Orvis which fuels his passion for the sport. With regards to work, It is the "voice of the customer" that drives Jan to provide world class customer service day in and day out. When not spending time with his wife Kristina and two daughters, Madison and Vivian, you will find Jan in search of high adventure along the Gulf's, Emerald coast.
