How it all began...

GCI Outdoor™ was founded in 1996 after founder Dan Grace asked this simple question: "Why isn't there a chair for this?"

That question was answered when Dan, utilizing his engineering background, designed the Everywhere Chair®, the patented hillside adjustable chair. In 1998, Jeffrey Polke joined as co-owner bringing his sales, marketing and retail experience. Together they grew GCI Outdoor™ with innovative product designs and unsurpassed customer service.

In 2009, a joint venture brought together the industry's top innovator GCI Outdoor™ with RIO Adventure™ and San Angelo™, the high profile sporting goods and hunting divisions of RIO Brands. This venture created Integrity Outdoor Brands.

RIO Adventure™ is the oldest manufacturer operating in the outdoor furniture category today, and is recognized in the industry for reliability and customer-centric philosophy.

For more than 40 years, San Angelo™ has been the go-to brand for hunters, sportsmen and target shooters. Born in its namesake Texas town of San Angelo™, the brand's founder is largely credited with inventing "The Original," the first pick-up truck gun rack. Today, San Angelo™ continues to offer core hunting gear and shooting accessories.

Today, Dan and Jeff continue to make it happen - now, with three brands. They are building their team and adding more innovative products to their catalogs.
