Portland, Ore. (May 16, 2016) – Abom, Inc., the company that developed and patented an active solution to prevent fogging in goggles, announced today that Ned Post, former President of Smith Sport Optics, USA Division of Scott USA and Wilson Sporting Goods, has become an Abom advisor.

“We’re truly humbled to have an industry veteran like Ned joining Abom as an advisor,” said Jack Cornelius, CEO of Abom. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, and we’re looking forward to collaborating and incorporating his knowledge to further elevate the Abom brand.”

“I’m honored to be an Abom advisor, and I have been impressed by the company’s technology and the ways they’ve chosen to apply it,” said Ned Post. “Abom is an innovative, dynamic company, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with this team.”

Post spent more than two decades leading Smith Sport Optics as the manufacturer’s president. Prior to that, he served as president for Scott USA (USA Division) and Wilson Sporting Goods.
