Rezin Marketing

In 2007, for only the third time in NFL history, a place-kicker was named a Franchise Player by an NFL Team. After a tremendous 2006 season where Josh kicked an NFL record of four game-winning field goals, Josh was named a Pro Bowl alternate for the third time in his career. After this, Josh signed a one-year franchise tender contract of $2.078 million with the Seattle Seahawks. Following another great season with the Seahawks, Josh signed with the St Louis Rams. Josh's contract makes him the highest paid specialist in the history of the NFL.

Josh has been with Rezin since the start. He has utilized Rezin Marketing to integrate himself into the St Louis market. The 1st week Josh was in St. Louis, Rezin Marketing set him up throwing the first pitch at the St Louis Cardinals vs Cubs game.

Tune in Wednesday nights to ESPN Radio St. Louis 101.1 to catch Josh's show, "Kickin It With Josh" from 7pm to 8pm.

Washington resident Ed Viesturs is widely regarded as this country's foremost high-altitude mountaineer. He is familiar to many from the 1996 IMAX Everest Expedition documentary and in 2002, he was awarded the historic Lowell Thomas Award by the Explorer's Club for outstanding achievement in the field of mountaineering. In winning the award, he joined an elite group of climbers including Sir Edmund Hillary. In 1992 he was awarded the American Alpine Club Sowles Awards for his participation in two rescues on K-2. Viesturs is a professional mountaineer and works as a design consultant for several prominent outdoor equipment manufacturers such as Eddie Bauer and Timberland. He also represents companies such as Rolex and the Seattle Seahawks. He does corporate motivational speeches as well, touching on subjects such as Team Work, Overcoming Major Obstacles, and Planning and Preparation.

Viesturs has successfully reached the summits of all of the world's fourteen 8000-meter peaks without supplemental oxygen, an 18 year project he christened Endeavor 8000. His goal was completed on May 12, 2005 with his ascent of Annapurna one of the world's most treacherous peaks. He is one of only a handful of climbers in history (and the only American) to accomplish this. That year Viesturs was awarded National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year.

During the 18 year span to climb the world's highest peaks he went on 29 Himalayan expeditions and reached the summit on 20 of these occasions and stood on the top of Everest seven times. He climbs without benefit of an oxygen tank, which can be burdensome and potentially troublesome. Only a superior conditioned athlete can scale heights of 25,000 feet without artificial oxygen – a fact Viesturs has turned into an important metaphor for his audiences (i.e., that the key to the journey is in the time and energy invested in the preparation).

Viesturs motto has always been that climbing has to be a round trip. All of his planning and focus during his climbs maintains this ethic and he is not shy about turning back from a climb if conditions are too severe. In spite of his conservative attitude Viesturs has been one of the most successful Himalayan climbers in American history. His story is about risk management as well as being patient enough for conditions to allow an ascent. Ultimately, in his words, "The mountain decides whether you climb or not. The art of mountaineering is knowing when to go, when to stay, and when to retreat."

At the start of their 2005 season the Seattle Seahawks football team brought in Viesturs to speak to them about teamwork. The team and coaches incorporated some of his messages and ideas into their practices and games and went on to play in the Super Bowl that season. According to Viesturs, regardless of the industry, teamwork is the same: "It is an implicit trust in, and recognition that the person next to you is No. 1," he explains. "If we're climbing a mountain together and you slip and fall, I'm there to save your life" – which is the ultimate definition of teamwork. Another lesson Viesturs espouses is the importance of perseverance, or going step by step and not getting discouraged when working toward your goal. Viesturs recalls once being just 300 feet away from the top of Mount Everest when he had to turn back.

In October 2005 Viesturs best selling autobiography "No Shortcuts To The Top" was published and released by Random House Books. The book covers in detail Ed Viesturs' career as a mountaineer, how he prepared for his expeditions and his philosophy about how he managed the inherent risks.

Viesturs was born in 1959 and now lives on Bainbridge Island, Washington with his wife of 13 years, Paula, and their three children Gil, 11, Ella, 9 and Anabel, 4. He continues to go on adventures. On May 19th 2009 he made his 7th ascent of Everest. Most recently on July 8th 2009 made his 203rd ascent of 14,410' Mt. Rainier while guiding Seahawks Coach Jim Mora and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.

Keith Colburn

In the winter of 1985, Keith, a Lake Tahoe ski bum was looking for a change and at 22 years of age jumped on a plane with his lifelong best friend Kurt Frankenberg. Together they landed in Kodiak, Alaska with no experience, a tent and $50 dollars. With only the romantic vision of working at sea and the rumor of big pay-days, Keith was determined to try something new and exciting. He started as a true greenhorn on the Alaska Trader, a 135 foot crabber/tender.

The hook was set instantly. The fishing lifestyle and camaraderie of being part of a crew working in and against the elements captured him immediately. While initially looking only for adventure in Alaska's unknown waters, Keith found plenty of that, but also something unexpected. A career. In 1988, he became a full share deck hand on the Wizard. He earned his USCG 1600 ton Mates license in 1990 and moved from the deck to the pilot house. In 1992, he received his 1600 ton Masters (Captain) license and has remained there as the skipper.

In 2002 Keith purchased the 100' crabber F/V Sirene (pronounced Sea-Wren), but continued to operate the Wizard. In 2004, he sold the fishing rights for the Sirene in the Federal Buy Back, a fleet reduction program. When the fleet down sized in 2005 from 250 crabbers to 80 under a new Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) system, Keith purchased the Wizard, but without its valuable IFQs.

Today, Keith continues as the Captain and now owner of the Bering Sea's premier crab vessel the F/V Wizard which is featured on reality TV Series Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.

Monte Colburn

Monte joined his brother in Alaska and began fishing in 1987 after arriving on St Paul Island in the dead of winter, onboard the 110' F/V Juno, a partner vessel to the Alaska Trader. His first year in Alaska was a marathon working over 10 months before coming home. From the very first day in Alaska, Monte's career has been one adventure after another.

Monte lives with his wife Catherine, and son Gregory in the Lake Tahoe town of Brockway, CA where they purchased the Colburn's childhood home.

In 1988, he joined Keith aboard the 155' F/V Wizard as a full share deck hand. When Keith took over in the wheelhouse, Monte became deck boss. Monte earned his USCG Mates license in 1992 and upgraded to a Masters 1600 ton in 1995. From 1992-1995, Keith and Monte operated as relief Captain and First Mate. In 1995, Keith and Monte began operating the Wizard full time together as Captain, and Relief Captain/Mate.

Monte took command of the F/V Sea Fisher in 1998, and then the F/V Norseman in 2001. During these years Monte, and Keith were very successful working together as partner boats.

Monte took the helm of the F/V Sirene working on an oil spill clean up in Unalaska. He provided support to the many vessels that participated in the 11 month clean up project after the 400 foot cargo freighter Selandang Ayu ran aground near Dutch Harbor in December 2004.

Today, Monte is First Mate for Keith, and Captain when Keith heads south, on the premier crab vessel the F/V Wizard which is featured on the reality TV Series Deadliest Catch on the Discovery Channel.
