Meet the Team

This is the management team behind Calgary’s premier outdoor store, specializing in outdoor apparel and gear from world class brands. And of course, we couldn’t do it without the rest of our great employees and sales associates!

Tyler Kosaka
Store Manager

Tyler Kosaka

Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Tyler spent most of his life playing in the Rockies. Having been at Out There since the doors opened, Tyler has taken on the role of General Store Manager and you will often find him roaming the floors in search of great outdoor conversation. An avid cyclist, cross country skier and barefoot hiker, Tyler constantly searches for the next heart rate elevating adventure. Some recent adventures include Rundle’s Revenge, 24 Hrs of Adrenalin and teaching his five year old to build snow caves!

Colin Matthews
Purchasing Manager

Colin Matthews

Originally from Yellowknife, NWT, Colin has lived in Calgary for the past seven years and has worked at Out There for four years. As the Purchasing Manager at Out There, Colin’s responsible for seeking out the latest and greatest product to fill the shelves. An avid ultramarathon runner, some of Colin’s latest adventures include a R2R2R (Rim-to-rim-to-rim) crossing of the Grand Canyon, completing the Canadian Death Race solo and finishing his first 24-Hour race.

George Achilleos
Managing Partner

George Achilleos

George left his role at IBM Canada in 2000 to pursue entrepreneurial ventures with his life long friend and business partner, Jamie Clarke. George joined Azimuth (Clarke’s adventure business) in January of 2000 to manage operations & business development activities. In early 2003, George and Jamie founded Out There Inc. in pursuit of creating an innovative brand in the active lifestyle segment.

Jamie Clarke
Managing Partner

Jamie Clarke

Jamie Clarke is an accomplished international mountaineer-adventurer and 20-year veteran of expeditions across the world. He has climbed the Seven Summits, traveled to 55 countries, written books and made films about his grueling journeys. While not adventuring, he’s a popular public speaker and businessman. Jamie is an ordinary person seeking extraordinary experiences and tries to inspire others to do the same in their own personal ways.

Angelia Harris
Shipper/Receiver

Angelia Harris Gray

This Cute as a button girl has always been a no-nonsense, hard working person, as the photo shows. However, Angelia (the ‘i’ is silent), who is the current Shipper/Receiver at Out There, can be found relaxing at home, either gardening, crocheting, or preparing for the coming Zombie Apocalypse by watching her favorite Zombie shows and reading her favorite Zombie books.
