Background

About Collin Jarvis

I had my large intestine removed due to severe Ulcerative Colitis in 2014. After having surgery, I returned to competitive long distance running and started Hurdle Barriers LLC with the mission of helping people transition back to an active lifestyle after serious medical conditions. In 2016, Hurdle Barriers Partnered with Stealth Belt Inc. in an effort to improve the lives of others who must wear ostomy bags as a result of surgery from IBD or cancer. I was the Vice President of Stealth Belt inc. from 2016-2023 where I oversaw marketing and operations, as well as an inspirational public speaker for medical events and conferences around the country. In an effort to diversify my professional skillset, I accepted a position as Vice President of Marketing and Key Account Manager for the Pac North at United Plant Growers, inc. in October of 2024. I am responsible for the online sales and marketing of the company and manage UPG's Home Depot accounts in the Pacific North Region. In my free time, I enjoy running, biking, propagating houseplants, being outside in nature, and continuing to be an advocate for ostomates as an ambassador for Hollister, Inc. What does an ostomate have in common with a houseplant? We both have a stoma!
