Intro

Hi - I am the cofounder along with my daughter Zoe Jecker, her husband and my husband of The Gear Project.  We solve the problem of giving outdoor adventurers a way to buy and sell lightly used outdoor gear and clothing in the US.

We’ve bootstrapped the marketplace with Sharetribe platform and Journey Horizon as our developer - started on the project in February 2026. We are supported by Zoe and Kelby’s 1 M plus content creation business in the outdoor adventure space (@the_adventureaddicts).

About

The Gear Project is a marketplace for buying and selling quality used outdoor gear across the US. Every listing has to be ready to use, no holes, no repairs, no guesswork, so buyers can shop secondhand with real confidence. Sellers ship directly to buyers, which keeps prices fair and payouts strong. Built by a family of outdoor lovers who believe great gear deserves a long life and a fair price.
