We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicklaus Mertz and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Nicklaus, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
It was always difficult for me to work for someone else. I wanted to have the flexibility and freedom and a 9-5 job wouldn’t provide that for me. I also am passionate about creating high quality products and disrupting a market while creating american jobs.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
At Pins & Aces, we don’t just sell golf products; we craft experiences. Established in 2018, we embarked on a journey to revolutionize the way golf enthusiasts approach their game. What began as a passion for better on-course experience, turned into a thriving business dedicated to creating high-quality, stylish, and functional golf products. Our products are a testament to exceptional craftsmanship. Every headcover is carefully stitched, every piece of apparel is tailored to perfection, and every ball marker is intricately designed. We believe that attention to detail makes a significant difference, and it’s this commitment to excellence that sets Pins And Aces apart.
Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite town in Colorado is Breckenridge. Whenever friends come to visit, we always make an effort to get up to Breck. Summer or Winter – there is always something to do up there. From golfing to skiing, there is no shortage of fun to be had.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There is a lot of people who deserve credit, including my 3 business partners – Jon Major, Alex Bard and Derek Johnson. I also would credit my parents in developing me to think creatively and allowing me to pursue my goals even as a young kid.
