Kenny Winter, Jr - Owner/CEO
Since 2014, Kenny has always wanted St. Nick's Knives to be more than just a knife store. His dream was to own an outdoor store with a focus on not only hunting gear, ammo, and firearms, but also a strong emphasis on and knowledge of knives. This was something that the majority of outdoor stores lacked, so he created Winter Timber Outdoors. On April 13, 2020, Winter Timber Outdoors opened and became the largest outdoor/firearms store in the area with thousands of rifles, shotguns, and pistols as well as millions of rounds of ammo. When Kenny isn't running his other companies, he can often be found duck hunting with his dog, Gunner, or relaxing at the beach with his family.
