Fabio D.
My name is Fabio - I'm an outdoor enthusiast living in Alaska. I grew up in a mountain town in Switzerland. Hiking, climbing, snowboarding, trail-running and sleeping outside were huge parts of my upbringing.
In 2012, I decided to quit my job, packed my backpack and travelled around the world for 4 years straight. I cooked meals over camp fires in Siberia, lived in yurts with nomadic eagle hunters in Mongolia, hiked into some remote parts of the Himalayas, hitchhiked and backpacked through New Zealand and Australia, climbed and camped in the beautiful Andes – overall I probably spent equally as many nights in tents and under night skies as I did in hostels.
On this crazy journey, I fell in love with an island in Alaska and made the vast wilderness of this beautiful place my home base.
My favorite thing in the world is combining my two biggest passions: Being in the outdoors and snowboarding. Nothing better than a multiday snowboard/winter camping expedition!

Phenomenal
Fabio was just incredible. He helped me in numerous ways, including extending the conversation beyond my initial purchase intention to include a more general exchange about my goals and the things I would need to get there. I really can't say enough good things about him or my experience with curated.com. I will certainly come back; moreover, I will tell all of my friends and family about curated + Fabio. I look forward to years of future service. This was just phenomenal!!! Thank you again, Fabio!!

Above and beyond
Coming from a retail background of over 15 years, I am amazed at the extent this man’s patience goes!!! I have been stuck between some gear, trying to get an upgrade, he narrowed it down within minutes. Was always ready to respond, it felt like I was texting a friend on some pointers. Must come back to get more gear, will take pictures to show me and my wife using the gear!!!

Very pleasant shopping experience for someone who normally hates shopping!
Fabio instantly put me at ease and helped me to find the best options for what I was needing for my commercial fishing job. He even went so far as to look up the weather during the time I’m going to determine what materials I would want to wear. I was Impressed. He put the time in and that’s why I’m putting the time in to write a review. Thanks again!

Honest and upfront
He was very helpful from the beginning and got me deals as soon as I asked for something he found me offers I couldn’t find on my own. When my own idea for what I wanted was too much he found me something a lot more within my price range that is comparable and still great quality. He was upfront about stuff he wasn’t familiar with and let me know he would do some research before giving me a recommendation. He knew the products because he’s actually used them which is nice. I will definitely be coming back here for more of my camping needs and sending all my friends this way. Wish I knew about this site years ago, probably could have saved a lot of time and money finding what I needed.

Overachiever
He helped me when I couldn't even find the right words to ask him the right way to assist me. I ask him a question and it was quite some time but I finally got a response from him a few minutes later, he apologized for the late response and said his shift had ended but he was going to continue to assist me. Wow I am amazed at how dedicated he is in helping his customers. Even when he is off the clock he is still worried about making the customer happy. I think if anyone deserves a raise Fabio does.

When patience hit its peak! Outstanding Novation!
Fabio Domenig, WOW! Must commend you on your amazing guest service skills at that your level of patience. I’m very particular when it comes to quality and a product I haven’t researched due to limited time. Thank you for answering in details my questions. You definitely set the bar high. “Congratulations to your superiors for hiring such a well rounded representative.” Best of luck! GB Nothing more exhilarating than doing what we love the most. Two thumbs up!

Very Satisfied Customer
Fabio provides that kind of service that you dream of when shopping for very specific/custom items. I'm a mountaineer and snowboarder and require very specific clothing items that fit the environment/weather and my body composition/comfort level. This PRO found me exactly what I was looking for to fit my needs and now I'm so excited to head back out in the mountains to enjoy my new gear. Thank you, Fabio, and thank you Curated.

A gentleman and a scholar
Fabio knows his gear and has put it through its paces. He smoothly guided me and my fiancé through our gear-up for wet and wild spring hiking at altitude. He gave us multiple affordable, high-quality suggestions for each item we sought, so we could pick what most suited our needs. He’s professional and fun to communicate with. We highly recommend working with this expert.

Fabio is a great resource!
Fabio got back to us in minutes. After some questions on what we needed he made a recommendation that met our objectives in both utility, quality, and also price. This last one was a surprise to me! I thought a company that provided such expert( and personal advice) would be more expensive. Very impressed with Curated!
