Mosko Staff

Merril Heck

Director of Operations

I love going fast and being outdoors. Off-road motorcycles combine both, and I’m ready to go all in.

Studying International Business and Spanish at the University of Puget Sound laid the groundwork for my career in operations, spanning over 25 years with The adidas Group, Dakine, and Grundens. My wife and I are proud parents of two amazing adult children, and our journey has taken us to incredible places—Portland, San Diego, Panama, and Hood River.

Managing production and supply chains to meet rising demand without sacrificing quality or service levels is easier said than done. Mosko has been through years of rapid growth. My goal is to prioritize and focus on the processes and systems that will enable growth and prevent bottlenecks.

The Gorge has been my happy place ever since I first came here to windsurf with my dad in the summer of ’94. Even now, the excitement of getting on the water is as fresh as ever. What started as fallback activities for windless days—mountain biking and trail running—have since become the go-to sports most days of the year.

I’m excited to embark on a new adventure—learning to ride motorcycles and diving into the world of off-road riding. For me, the common thread across the sports I love going fast and being outdoors. Off-road motorcycles combine both, and I’m ready to go all in.
