Gabriel Tennberg, 39, VP Design & Merchandising, Apparel

What exactly does your role encompass?
"I'm basically responsible for everything but footwear. On any given day, I could be design directing the apparel, and then even pricing it out."

What's the biggest perk about working for DC?
"Having a lounge with beer in a Kegerator outside of my office — totally kidding! Really, it's the privilege of being part of the largest skate-brand company in the industry."

What's your funniest or most memorable moment working for the company?
"The funniest and most memorable would have to differentiate a bit … My funniest moments are any time I get to hang with or work alongside Rob Dyrdek because everything he says and does is absolutely hilarious! My most memorable moment was watching the photo shoot for the Rediscover DC ad."

With your discount, what's the number-one item on your wish list right now?
"Probably the DC Chino pant in every color. I've taken a more 'uniform' approach to picking out my clothes for work every morning, and lately I've been rocking the Chinos on a daily basis. I oftentimes pair them with a T-shirt bearing our logo, like today."

Where's your ideal destination to take your DC lifestyle?
"My ideal destination would have to be a skate park with my kids. At the moment, my two oldest are really starting to get the hang of skating, and I'm stoked to be there to watch it."
