BRENT JEFFERSON
PRESIDENT
I am a certified “Elk”aholic.
With a great passion for outdoors and the hunt, I’ve created Great North because of my passion! I want to create a place where people can trust the advice they receive, from a group of experts and outdoor enthusiasts that don’t just talk the talk but also live the life.
What item do you always have with you in the backcountry?
A key part of my gear would have to be my Sitka Ascent Pant. Light weight, quiet, stretchy and all around the most comfortable pant. Great for chasing early season bulls in the backcountry

ALLAN LUNDQUIST
RETAIL SALES & RESIDENT GUNSMITH
Who are you and what do you do?
I enjoy the workings of firearms. In my spare time I’m often working on projects and repairs. I enjoy spending time with my family and getting out into nature for any of several reasons, hunting fishing or just to get out of the city and get my head on straight.
What item do you always have with you in the backcountry?
Having a good pair of boots is very important to my time in the backcountry. The Crispi Guide GTX are my choice. With a little higher top then boots I’ve used in the past they give me the ankle support I need without going to a hi-top boot. With the full Gortex lining I am confident that my feet will stay dry.

Jody Steele
IT & WEB DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
Who are you and what do you do?
My passion for the outdoors, shooting and computers combine to make working at Great North a perfect combination for me.
What item do you always have with you in the backcountry?
My Garmin GPS with BACKROADS MAP BOOKS. As BC is so vast, I like to have the security of knowing where I am going and how to get back. Also, it is a great tool for tracking what I find and where.

DAN SHEMLEY
WAREHOUSE MANAGER
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Dan Shemley, I am the Shipper and Receiver. So, all your online orders pass through my hands to ensure you get what you ordered, and it goes to the right place. When I’m not taping up boxes, I can usually be found working out at the local gun range, airsofting, floating in a boat fishing or refining scrap metal.
What item do you always have with you in the backcountry?
The last thing you want when you are fishing for sturgeon or any big fish is a dull hook, which is why I love keeping my Benchmade Field Sharpener in my bag. Quick and easy to sharpen the hooks which leads to big fish coming in and fewer curses going out…

LUKE VOGRINETZ
MARKETING & GRAPHIC DESIGN MANAGER
Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Luke Vogrinetz, I am the Marketing Director at Great North. My job is to provide you with content and knowledge of anything exciting in our world. When not in the office I cant be found. Hiking up mountains is fun but not nearly as fun as hiking them in pursuit of game. My passion for hunting started at a very young age and has only grown as I have gotten older. Born and raised in Kelowna B.C and Made in Canada.
What item do you always have with you in the backcountry?
Its hard to pick one item that I cant live withought in the backcountry. Aside from TP I would say my Sitka Dew point jacket is one of the most important pieces of clothing I own. From early season Bear hunts to late season Mule deer this jacket is being worn or with me at all times.
