the memory outdoors journey

From Farm Roots to Passion Driven Outdoor Products

Nick Eggert, CEO of Memory Outdoors, is a creative leader dedicated to enriching hunters’ experiences through innovative products and a profound passion for the outdoors. He personally crafts and designs the distinctive line of products. Nick Eggert’s journey began amidst the rolling hills of Clear Lake, Wisconsin, where he worked on farms and learned the value of hard work that ran in his family’s blood. Growing up, he and his brother didn’t just milk cows; they learned the art of butchery from their dad, a tradition passed down through generations. After graduating, Nick traded the fields for construction sites, where the realization dawned on him that he craved something more meaningful. Evenings were no longer for rest but for pursuing his dream, burning the midnight oil to carve out a path of his own.

Long hours under the sun gave way to even longer nights, as Nick strived to turn his passion into a reality. It was a relentless balancing act between his day job and his aspirations, until the day came when he could finally bid farewell to construction and dedicate himself entirely to his vision.

In the first couple of years with Smiley’s Skulls, Nick got his feet wet, learning valuable lessons on the ins and outs of owning your own business and what it takes to thrive. Now, armed with the knowledge he gained, he plans to infuse Memory Outdoors with the same dedication and wisdom, ensuring its success as a testament to his journey and determination.

For Nick, Memory Outdoors is more than just a business venture; it’s a high point of his background and passion for the outdoors. As a perfectionist, he’s dedicated to ensuring the highest quality in every product, meticulously crafting each item to meet his exacting standards. It’s about preserving the memories and experiences that make hunting and outdoor adventures so special, ensuring that every customer leaves with not just a product but a piece of their own story to cherish forever.
