// About the Company

ScorpionExo® is, quite simply, the next wave in motorcycle helmet and protective gear design and manufacturing. ScorpionExo® Helmets are engineered by some of the world's most sought-after helmet designers, with over 178 years of cumulative experience. And their wild, innovative graphic designs are created in hotbeds of extreme-sports creativity all over the world, from Europe to Southern California, to stay two steps ahead in this fast-moving field.

The Scorpion Sports factory—The Big Nest—is a state-of-the-art, 810,000 sq. ft. campus, staffed by as many as 400 skilled technicians, each dedicated to crafting the world's best protective headgear. Almost every operation needed to create world-class helmets is located on this one amazing facility, including both fiberglass/Kevlar™ and polycarbonate shell molding, EPS liner manufacturing, liner sewing, water-decal production, clean-room paint booths, drying rooms, assembly, packaging and shipping.

Many helmet brands simply private-label helmets purchased from generic mass manufacturers. And most other helmet brands sub-contract major portions of their manufacturing to smaller vendors. Scorpion does not-because we want to control every operation, every detail, to insure optimum quality, confidence-inspiring integrity and utmost efficiency.

The North American headquarters (The Nest) for Scorpion Sports is located in Lake Forest, CA the nerve center and warehouse, plus in 2007 we opened our new distribution center located in Louisville, KY. Both include the latest computerized technology for order entry, inventory management, pick, pack, and shipping, customer service and order tracking. Dealer orders can be easily placed anytime on the website, or over the phone during business hours. And each order can be tracked online until it arrives at any dealership in North America.

// Eric Anderson

Current Position: Founder, VP of Sales and Marketing

Hometown: Raised in Valley Center, Calif. University of Calif San Diego and Santa Barbara graduate degrees, Peace Corps, Kenya East Africa, Motorcycle Industry Council, Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Intersport Fashions West, then…Land of the Scorpion.

Background: Lately, my hobbies took a back seat to starting a new company called Scorpion Sports. Mountain biking, triathlon, baja racing, raising teenage daughters and being married to the same incredible woman for 26 years all qualify as hobbies, don't they? I don't talk much about myself since "actions speak louder than words."

Your favorite Scorpion: Since I am now an official helmet whore I have 5 new ones. The international orange Warhawk snowcross helmet converted to a high-viz street helmet for comfort and safety is one. My off-road car racing CrackHead with a Parker Pumper dust filter pump, dust skirt and 2-way radio communication devices installed is the second. My leopard-print pimped out VX-17 Calavera is my third. I also added an EXO 100 (flat black with stripe) for riding around on my vintage machine with some funny, old aviator goggles on. I just can't get enough of 'em. Now we have ExoWear too so my clothing closet is expanding.

Current Position: Brand Manager

Hometown: Letcher South Dakota

Background: I am a South Dakota farm boy who grew up riding snowmobiles and racing cars. I like to brag about graduating in the top 5 in my class...most the time I don't mention that there were only 14 people in my class. My first bike was a Honda Trail 90. My dad bought 2 these...they were purchased to carry fence fixing equipment. It wasn't long before my brother, sister and I figured out how to race them around while the cattle enjoyed their new “free range”. I love the outdoors plus 2 and 4 wheel sports. My goals are to continue to educate, inspire and lead by example in growing the sport of motorcycling throughout the world!

Your favorite Scorpion: Tsunami, Red/Black

Current Position: Media Relations and Rider Support Manager

Hometown: Golden Valley, North Dakota

Background: I was born in Bismarck, ND but moved to Alberta Canada when I was five. I graduated high school and completed a year of college, I then decided to “travel the world” with the Marines! After nine years in the Marines, as an aircraft engine mechanic I decided it was time to pursue a career in an industry that I love; motorcycling. I ride both dirt and street bikes, I've raced both at one time or another and probably will continue to do so until I either win a championship or I'm too old to try!

Your favorite Scorpion: Some Women collect shoes… I have helmets. I love them all the same!

Background: I started working in the industry about 3 years ago and immediately realized that I wanted to be in it forever.

I currently ride a 2006 Honda CBR600RR and love every moment on it. If I’m not working I’m hanging out with my friends either fixing stuff that doesn’t need to be fixed or just chilling. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to work with this company.
