The Tale of Zapazoo

“Zapazoo,” Don would always say as we were ready to head out. For as long as anyone can remember, that was how Don would bid farewell after hanging out together. An energetic “Zapazoo” and a quick brush of his right hand in an abbreviated waving motion. It stuck with us. It became an insider thing. We actually looked forward to it even though it meant we were leaving his presence. Everyone knew that you had become part of Don’s extended family when he sent you on your way with a “Zapazoo.” We liked the feeling it created. It was an Aloha thing. It was engaging. It was memorable. And it always left you with the promise of seeing each other again, hopefully soon. Don was a great person and an even better father, father-in-law and grandfather. We wanted to keep his memory alive and we really miss his “Zapazoo.” Pass it along and start your own Zapazoo. You’ll be glad you did.

Bo attended the University of Colorado at Boulder preceding his graduation from Aspen High School. He graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology with an emphasis in Communications. While there he enjoyed playing soccer and hockey and skiing whenever there was enough time to head for the hills and carve away. Since Bo left Aspen he knew it wouldn’t be long until he would be back enjoying what this great valley has to offer. After graduating from CU at Boulder, Bo moved back to Aspen and became engaged in the silk screening business. He became a master silk screener and became enamored with the industry. In 2012, Bo started Zapazoo Inkworks. He continues to grow at his trade to perfect his abilities as a screen printer and is energized by creating what has not been created before. The Roaring Fork Valley is Bo’s home. He loves it here. He loves the people. The active lifestyle. The mountains. The beauty. The valley charges his creativity. By being involved in this exciting new lifestyle apparel organization, Bo is able to capitalize on his creativity and design skills to create custom apparel that will put Zapazoo on the map. And on your body. Zapazoo is not a hobby for Bo, it is a career.
