Cassius started at Eighth Generation in 2021 as a warehouse associate for the holiday season, quickly joining our retail team in our flagship store at Pike Place Market as well. In both the warehouse and store, Cassius proved to be unflappable in stressful situations, and was soon promoted to Assistant Warehouse Manager. Together with Warehouse Manager Eric Alipio (Diné/Navajo), Cassius helped us ship a record number of orders during the busy 2021 and 2022 holiday seasons. 

Where many of Eighth Generation's fans will recognize Cassius from are our Instagram and TikTok accounts. Not only has Cassius helped model products at photoshoots, his laid back vibes and great sense of humor made him a natural to star in our TikTok videos.

As Eighth Generation continues to grow and requests for wholesale and bulk orders increases, we recognized the need for a fulltime Wholesale Manager, and Cassius' knowledge of product combined with his people skills made him the perfect fit for the promotion. 

"I really enjoy creating new relationships and maintaining our current partnerships," shares Cassius. "I'm looking forward to meeting you all!"

Congratulations on your promotion, Cassius; we're so happy to have you on the team!
