THE TEAM
Sam Agnew
Owner / Executive Officer
The first thing most people notice about Sam is his earnest enthusiasm and passion. This makes sense when you understand his experience as a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. Along with his natural leadership Sam brings some fiscal responsibility to all the fun that comes with living out your dreams. He has over 10 years overseeing and managing the financial performance of a commercial real estate portfolio and a PNW timber portfolio. As a founder and executive officer, Sam oversees the strategy, vision and handshakes at Pursuit. Sam is a graduate from the University of Kansas where in addition to being exposed to some above average basketball games, he met his wife.
Cory Johnson
General Manager
There is some fierce debate going on at Pursuit and Cory happens to be at the center of the controversy. You see, the Pursuit team argues they are the lucky ones to have found Cory, while Cory argues he is lucky to have found himself at Pursuit. While we may never know the answer, chances are you will get to know Cory on your visit. Cory mans the Tasting Room with a gentleman’s hospitality and a lifelong Mariner’s fan level of positive energy. He also happens to be a local so he is more helpful than the Internet.
