Our Story UPNorth
"The sky was never the limit, but an obstacle that we will overcome"
Headquartered in the scenic Upper Peninsula of Michigan, UPNorth Recon is the shared dream of Kurt Paris and Andy Davis, two spirited individuals with deep roots in this beautiful region. Our story is more than a business; it's about two middle-class working guys from the U.P. (or Yoopers, as we proudly call ourselves) who dared to chase a dream—a dream of helping others do what they love, while doing what we love.
Our Founders
Kurt Paris brings his energetic and multifaceted background to UPNorth Recon. His career as a Chemical Operator at ChemDesign started at 19 and continues to this day. Kurt's love affair with technology began at a young age, leading him to explore the realm of aerial photography and videography. Beyond his professional life, he is an avid outdoorsman with a passion for fishing, hiking, and an unyielding enthusiasm for gaming, graphic design, and video making.
Andy Davis has been with ChemDesign for over 18 years, evolving from an operator to a supervisor. His life is a beautiful blend of professional dedication and personal joys as a husband and father. Andy's upbringing in the Upper Peninsula ingrained in him a lifelong love for hunting, a tradition he treasures. His fascination with technology lies in its practical applications, enhancing everyday experiences and activities.
