Scott Napier - Co-Owner : scott@skyehigh.com
If I'm in the store I'm most likely ordering D&B (jungle) Records, trying to keep our employees busy, or on the phone. If I'm not in Skyehigh I would be DJing at the BugJar or somewhere, hanging out with my wife (Amy) and daughter (Ava), snowboarding, gardening, trying to relax for five seconds, or on the phone!

Danny Rosato - Co-Owner : danny@skyehigh.com
They say I'm without time, who says you can't do it all. Just remember to take time with the things that you love.
When I'm not in the shop I prefer to be snowboarding when I can make time. I love to spend time with Family, and I love quiet time alone
with my fianceé Carol, who I will be marrying June 7th, 2002. I hope to travel to Europe for our Honeymoon and maybe I'll get to
ride in the Swiss Alps. When I'm in the shop the best questions to ask are ones about the smoke shop, snowboard shop, promotions and tours,
and our soccer team.

Terry Schmitz - Manager : terry@skyehigh.com
My full name is Terrance James Schmitz. I was conceived on the beautiful Libra date of October the fourteenth, in the year of our Lord Nineteen hundred and seventy-seven. Originally my remarkable parents were expecting a beautiful baby girl (after two boys I think it was more or less my mothers wishful thinking). That is part of the reason why I have the name Terry (Terrance), because my mother being the superbly faith filled Roman Catholic she is, found out that on the expected date of my arrival which was supposedly the fifteenth, was also Saint Teresa of Avila's sainthood day, but being that I arrived with an "outty" (we are not talking about my belly button here) and I was a day earlier, my parents stuck with the Ter in a male form. Not bad eh!
Well the name only explains, well not really, anything about whom I am but I believe I can put it in a nutshell for you. Wel'll jump right in here, I was born a Websterarian, raised an Irondequoitian, and live as a Rochesterian. Which I don't regret at all and actually am very grateful for. All through my life and probably until I am trapped in the earth, I always have been, and always will be, a hyperactive person. Now I won't get into specifics because it would be an epic novel but lets just say being hyper growing up and pretty much still, is apporved and usually appreciated by your peers and cast down upon and highly wished against by adult family members and usually elders of sorts. I personally think it is a God sent gift but many may argue my faith.
I like mainly organic music as opposed to synthetic everywhere from Marley and Greyboy to John Denver and Natalie Merchant. Just a little taste of what I like but I am a huge music fan of all kinds (except for country and mostly all of the rap that comes out today). I LOVE HUMANITY and life, it is beautiful, it should be always shared in every aspect. My main philosophy is and always has been "take a little trip from everyone and everything and to give a little piece of my trip back". I love the outdoors and want to spend my career there in one way or another however I may be able to do so.
I have been working at Skyehigh for about four-and-a-half years. I have been managing here for about three of those years. I love my job and I try my best at it. I have always loved the outdoors and while working at Skyehigh I have been able to get out there and still enjoy it. As the company expands I hope to utilize my knowledge of the outdoors and incorporate it into the store, it's products and style. I love people and only awesome people go into the store, constantly, so needless to say great friends, amazing aquaintances and beautiful conversation are always present in the store and I'm sure there always will be. I am confident and hopeful that I will grow as the store grows.
I want to thank all those who have made me who I am and developed me from day one. To all those who have passed before me whether living or have lived on I sincerely thank you with all my mind, heart and soul. I have nothing but gratitude for you all. To all those that I am lucky enough to have around me right now let's smile, dance, and share every minute of every hour of everyday....forever. For the future well with light planning, an awesome attitude towards life around us and lots of love, love, love and well love, we will be able to smile, dance and share forever. To those I have not met yet I am looking so foward to it.
Remember to always dream, Your friend,
Terry Schmitz

Jeremy "Waldo" Lepel - IT Manager : waldo@skyehigh.com
First employeed as a promoter, Waldo worked his way into the shop and then into the "Computer" department. He is Responsible for all computer and website issues, including some graphic arts detail. You can find Waldo easily at any Skyehigh function because he has the digital camera and is always snapping pics. It's a real challenge to find him on the website because he is behind the camera all the time! Waldo is quite proficient with smokeshop knowledge so don't be afraid to ask him any questions about pipes, parts, or accessories.

Chad Roy - Manager : chad@skyehigh.com
I started working at Skyehigh in January of 1997. I've been skating for 16 years, snowboarding for 13 years and going to parties for 10 years, so I felt at home from day 1. I now manage the Syracuse Store, order all of the snowboard and smoke stuff and order some of the records, mainly funky and deep house. I still partake in all of my activities, but now I spin at parties for Skyehigh all over Upstate, NY.
