Gregg Chapman- Gregg and his brother Glenn operate as a team, bringing real factory-side experience from owning and running their own skateboard factory in upstate New York. The Chapmans have been closely involved in building and supporting core East Coast brands, both as Apex reps and through their fulfillment company. They understand what it takes to get a brand from idea to consistent production—and how to scale it without losing its identity. gregg@apexlaminates.com
Scot Ripple- Scot is the longest-tenured rep at Apex and has worked with more brands than anyone on the team. He’s deeply familiar with how things run inside the factory, not just on the sales side, which gives him an edge when it comes to dialing in specs and solving production challenges. If there’s a way to make something work, Scot’s probably already done it. scot@apexlaminates.com
Brandon Herbert– Brandon brings over 10 years of hands-on skateboard manufacturing experience, with a focus on helping brands carve out a distinct lane. He’s especially strong with high-end, art-driven decks and music-related projects, where details matter. Whether it’s building something from scratch or refreshing an existing line, Brandon approaches it with a creative but production-minded mindset. brandon@apexlaminates.com
Bruce Rodela- Bruce has been in the skateboard industry since the early ’90s, with decades spent across brands and manufacturers. He’s seen multiple cycles of the market and understands what works long-term versus what’s just hype. With 15+ years tied to Apex and its predecessor companies, Bruce brings a steady, experienced approach to helping brands navigate production and growth. bruce@apexlaminates.com
