About

Bikes are my passion! I’ve spent the last 20 years riding, crashing, learning, training, and bleeding bike. I got hooked on bikes at an early age. By high school I saved up for a Ibis Alibi, that I built from the frame up. In college my parents moved to Moab and that launched my passion for mountain biking. I spent my summers getting up way to early to beat the heat and ride some amazing singletrack.

In the early 2000’s I moved to Breckenridge, Colorado. Since then, I’ve worked in bike shops and outdoor stores. I started in sales and moved to purchasing, service writing, and wrenching. I enjoyed small independent shops where you could build a relationship with the customers. I also enjoyed the demand to have to run every aspect of a locally owned shop. From managing staff, to bike fitting, to selling every price point of bikes. It allowed me to shape who I became and what the shops were about. I’ve been fortunate to work and learn from some of the best mechanics in the state. It also allowed me to take workshops from Shimano, Fox, Rockshox, Sram, DT Swiss, and many more of the industry leaders.

I studied bike fitting before it was a thing and built relationships with the cycling community. It’s this passion that has lead me to grow into a small “Neighborhood Bike” shop and build one-on-one relationships with my clients.

I want to say Thank You to all my friends, clients, instructors, and past educators.
