Kati Rouse is the owner of Outdoor Kids Store. She manages Jamie Rouse Fly Fishing Adventures with her husband in Arkansas. After graduating from Rhodes College where she majored in Biology, served as a student trainer, and ran track and cross country, Kati did some graduate work in Exercise Physiology at the University of Memphis. She is a licensed athletic trainer, having worked at Campbell Clinic Orthopedics and Baptist Rehab with many high school and college athletes. Her work with youth in Memphis also included numerous climbing, rafting, hiking, and ski trips. So, it's easy to see why Kati has a passion for the outdoors. Excerpt from Kati's Journal, February 2009: "I have always loved the outdoors--hiking, rock climbing, skiing, biking. Ran track and cross country in high school and college. I worked as an athletic trainer handling sports related injuries for local high schools in Memphis. Was getting my CPR renewal and unexpectedly met this fly fishing guide who was getting ready to go to Alaska for the rainbow season. A little over a year later, Jamie and I got married and moved to the Little Red River--home of the world record brown trout, but not a great place to be an athletic trainer! I began to be an integral part of Jamie Rouse Fly Fishing Adventures, even worked in Alaska with him. We enjoy the outdoors together--fly fishing, hiking, traveling, etc. I had been content to not have a baby--thinking that my running and other activities would be interrupted. But, after 5 years, we had Allie. Wow! This is my greatest adventure yet! Seeing the outdoors through her eyes is like a whole new world. Trails that had become mundane are now something new to explore. She notices the smallest thing--a leaf on a tree, a pine needle, a bug--and gets so excited. I may go at a slightly different pace than before, but I realize what I had been missing! If someone had told me that I would open a store for outdoor baby and kids gear, I would have laughed--(not at the outdoors part). Allie has inspired Outdoor Kids Store, which began as a few hats, then a logo, and now... A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE!"
