DREAM JOBS: HOW TO MAKE A LIVING DOING WHAT YOU LOVE (05/30/13)

BRANDON BALDWIN

STARTING POINT: “I grew up racing in SoCal. I worked in dealerships, but when I moved to Northern California, I became a rep for a helmet manufacturer. Through riding, I became friends with Chris Carter, the owner of Motion Pro. When Chris bought the rights to Braking USA, he offered me a position to come on board as sales manager for Braking and Motion Pro.”

THE JOB: “My responsibilities are with anything that has to do with representation of the brand to the media, dealers, consumers and distributors. I educate the sales reps and work on our website. I am a brand cop, making sure Motion Pro is represented correctly. One of my favorite aspects of the job is never having to grow up. Our industry has found the fountain of youth, because we get to do for a living what most people choose as a hobby.”
