Christopher C. Howley - Publisher

Chris has more than 14 years of circulation experience with a strong background in subscription circulation as well as newsstand sales. He started his career at Murdoch Magazines (News Corp.) on the newsstand side and then moved to Curtis Circulation Company as an Account Executive for several years. He has worked as a circulation manager at CSI in Connecticut as well as at Primedia and was later the Circulation Director for Satellite Press in Colorado. Chris opened the Circulation Specialists West office in October 2001, and formed Circulation Specialists Network in March 2005. Chris had the idea to start Inline Media, LLC after it occurred to him that he had lost over 30 lbs. in less than 90 days by modifying his diet and inline skating, and that there were no longer any real magazines out there conveying the many health and sociological benefits of inline skating. Chris has since lost 50 pounds total through a combination of inline skating and diet modification.                              

Chad Schneider - Associate Publisher

Chad is an accountant by trade, a skate fiend by powers greater than himself. He's helping to cast the vision of Inline Fitness magazine in his role as Associate Publisher with his enthusiastic drive, knowledge of high finance and skating. Chad is also chief whipmeister on the TEAM Inline Fitness "Average Joes, Not Pros." These Average Joes took the 2005 Northshore Inline Marathon in under 1:40 - all of them. And all of them have been training under Chad's for less than a year. This is Chad's first foray into publishing.                       

Gary D. Judy - National Sales Director

Gary has more than thirty-five years experience at various levels of the publishing industry, most recently as Vice President, Publisher Relations of Media Solutions, which is Anderson News Company's Direct-To-Retail operation, exclusively servicing Books-A-Million (#3 Book chain nationally) among others. Gary has held executive level positions at Ingram Periodicals, IPD (Source Interlink) and Curtis Circulation Company. At Curtis, Gary was Director of the Specialty Sales Division, and is the man responsible for establishing Curtis' direct relationships with Ingram Periodicals, Source Interlink, and countless other key national chains. Gary's ties and contacts with key newsstand buyers make him an invaluable "insider." He is considered an authority in the direct distribution arena and we are lucky to have him. Gary's affiliation with Circulation Specialists West began in August 2004. Gary bought into Chris' idea to start a magazine, because they've been in the magazine industry long enough to know that there is a real opportunity to establish a successful niche publication serving a growing audience.       

Christopher J. Bowman - National Accounts Manager

The avid pursuit of music, skating, skiing, and soccer keep this father of two rolling. Chris recognized the unique opportunity to combine his passion and talents while bringing this publication to market. This is his first foray into the publishing business, so go easy on him.
