And an entrepreneur.
Gerstner recently opened Smoke on the Rim at 615 W. Main St. in Payson. The smoke shop carries local glass, vape wraps, Kratom and CBD products, with an in-house glass blowing studio.
The grand opening and ribbon cutting took place April 20, which is 4/20 for those who get the connection.
Itâs in the lower level of the log building just west of the Oxbow Saloon and is open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
The business is a joint venture between Gerstner and Sergio Amezquita, who lives in California and operates three Green Rush smoke shops in the San Francisco Bay Area.
