Funny, hardworking, engaged, and big hearted, Phil also plays drums for the Greenriver Thrillers with Gary. Of course, we saved the best for last: Phil! He’s the guy that makes showing up to work seem like a party. Phil is the Fulfillment/Customer Care Specialist and a Scorpio Adults dressed as cats is probably the one thing I dislike the most.

The best times Marty had geocaching were with the Shop Boyz during the 31 Days of August Geocaching campaign that ran in the summer of 2013. He wants to offer items that inspire geocachers and give them ideas (like our devious geocaches ), are top quality (like our packs, bags, and tools ) or are best practice (like large clear ammo cans as requested by law enforcement).

Gary has worked at Geocaching HQ for almost six years and knew one of the founders, Bryan Roth, from a previous employer. Perhaps the theory that mathematics and music are well connected comes in handy since Gary plays a mean bass for a local band called the Greenriver Thrillers. A little known fact is that he aced all three semesters of Calculus in college.
