"I am fortunate and grateful to my team, customers, and friends for all the years: This success is ours, not mine," Lasky said.

"One of the things I am most proud of, besides longevity, is the success that we have attained over these last few years – going through the pandemic– and being able to give back to others who need a boost. We love our relationships with local organizations, particularly the Martin Luther King Center, the Boys & Girls Club, Child & Family, Potter League for Animals, and other organizations here on Aquidneck Island," Lasky, of Newport RI, said.

"I feel incredibly fortunate to have represented the Helly Hansen brand for the last 25 years and to carry on the retail tradition that my father started on this block here in Newport in 1958. Nobody achieves success all alone. I am grateful to have been surrounded by great people with a ton of talent and witnessed incredible hard work by passionate individuals over these last 25 years," Lasky said.

"I am constantly amazed by the quality of people who work in this company with me. Professionals who treat it as their own and provide me with a sense of purpose every single day. We have employees that have been here for 15 years. We have had individuals who came to work for us that I have been able to mentor and then watch them grow and move on and have success at other companies and that is also a wonderful feeling," Lasky said.
