A Chat With May’s Profile, Suzanne Vlietstra, president of Hobby Horse Clothing Co.

CS: What career path would you have chosen if you hadn’t gotten involved in the catalog/multichannel business?
SV: A couple things in hindsight. I was a paramedic and I probably would’ve done something medically and/or gone to law school. I also do a lot of freelance journalism, which is lots of fun. I write for a lot of the horse magazines.
