“From a very young age Courtney Ashliman was always tinkering with things or in the outdoors. If he wasn’t tearing apart and rebuilding his dirt bike (or later his car), he could be found up in the mountains outside his Cache Valley (Northern Utah) home enjoying the magnificent beauty that surrounded him and engaging in any number of activities.
As an adult Courtney made a career of tinkering as he became a very successful engineer and project manager to the point where his entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and he started a small firm helping businesses and inventors design and manufacture their “next great thing”. Always modifying his own outdoor gear and feeling frustrated with gear failures during critical outdoor adventures, he decided it was time to solve his own problems as a consumer and create the gear he couldn’t find on the market but desperately needed in the outdoors. And thus Old Ephraim was born with his first solution for the problem of unreliable tie-downs and bungees … StrapGear.”
