Jason Harvey, Owner/Manager
Jason is currently employed as a Law Enforcement Officer in the state of New Mexico and has spent the last 15 years protecting the public and wildlife. The last nine years of his career has been spent patrolling the Sandia Mountains, Rio Grande Valley, West Mesa Desert, and the Petroglyph National Park. He is currently assigned to a Specialized Unit that patrols 10 to 70 miles a day by Foot, Mountain Bike, ATV, UTV, Hovercraft, Airboat, and SUV. In addition to patrolling the remote areas of the Albuquerque Metro Area, the Specialized Unit is responsible for Search and Rescue Missions and Dive Team. Jason is also an active member of FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue and is currently rostered as a Search Team Manager, Boat Manager and most recently K9 Handler. It's because of the unique situations that he has experienced over the years that he has designed a shovel to address the outdoor enthusiast needs.
In December of 2012, Jason designed a shovel that was innovative in design and would impact Off-Road and Hunting disciplines. This shovel is currently patent pending and is not available at this time.
However, while the original shovel was going through the patent process, Jason began modifying existing shovels from numerous manufacturers. The intent was to construct a high quality affordable shovel that could be transported easily in and on all types of vehicles. Once developed, he began partnering with American Manufacturers to piece together the ULTIMATE USA Made Shovels. Jason eventually developed shovels that benefit everyone from the average citizen to the Professional First Responder, Hunter, RVer and Off-Roader. He is now offering his tried and tested professional shovels to those that those that dare to travel “The Roads Less Traveled”!
The name “Krazy Beaver™"
The name Krazy Beaver came about when Jason and a friend were off-roading in an area west of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho known as the Rio Puerco. Jason’s friend made the comment that he needed to name the shovel something that people wouldn’t forget. He asked Jason what the tool looked like. He responded with, “A Beaver Tail”. Hence the name “Beaver”.
After off-roading, Jason was at a restaurant and began pondering the patent pending shovel. He thought it was “Crazy” that the shovel had never been submitted to the USPTO over the course of the last Century. It was that idea that led to the name “Krazy Beaver™”. Jason has since filed for the Trademarked name “Krazy Beaver™” through the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
