Store Manager: Kathryn Surges
A lifelong Wisconsinite, Kathryn Surges is no stranger to the great outdoors. Growing up in a family of anglers and hunters taught her much about the fragility of our environment and helped strengthen the belief that, above all, protecting it for generations to come is a responsibility not to be taken lightly. A veteran of the retail industry, Kathryn finally found her perfect fit when she landed at Orvis Milwaukee. And we can confidently say the feeling is mutual, as she’s been with us since 2011. When not at the store, you’ll most likely find Kathryn connecting with nature, whether that’s fishing, hiking, or just enjoying a summer sunset. She’s an avid golfer as well. In fact, if you were golfing at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, when she sank a 60-foot putt (her longest ever) at the 15th hole, you may have even heard her, as she told us, “My enthusiasm was heard all the way back to the clubhouse!” Kathryn enjoys meeting customers and creating lasting relationships at Orvis Milwaukee and looks forward to more of the same in the future.
