Brad Raymond – Custom Brands
In 2018, Brad Raymond, an employee of Gemini’s since 2005 purchased the company from the Glorvigen’s. Raymond, a 2000 graduate from the University of North Dakota, with a degree in Business Management and a passion for the outdoors, immersed himself in the fishing industry learning the nuances of the sport and was instrumental in launching the custom sublimation division of Gemini in 2007. Since then, Gemini has developed specifically into a custom apparel company lead by the vision of Raymond and with a tremendous support staff, including his loving wife Nadine. Upon acquiring Gemini, the company name was changed to Gemini Custom Brands, Inc. with the focus on improving the overall experience to the customer by providing the best customer service, enhanced online interaction and social media as well as continuous advancements in the garments performance and functionality. Gemini taps into the experience of anglers, on every level and in every role, from developers, designers and product managers, to product testers, and consultants.
