Nostalgia is one hell of a drug and Troy Eckert sure knows how to tug on our heart strings. As hire number one at Volcom, Troy paints a vivid picture of the company's inception. He takes us back to where it all started and walks us all the way to today. Troy even holds our hand as he gives us an exclusive look into the making of The Garden, one of the greatest gifts snowboarding has ever received. Learn about Volcom, Troy's role in its success, and everything he's been up to since on this week's episode of The Bomb Hole!
