I grew up in Kirkland, WA, and have always tried to spend as much time as possible outdoors with my family and friends. As a kid, I spent much of my time exploring the woods and trails around my house and this grew my love of mountain biking. I have continued this passion for mountain biking throughout my life and now share it with my amazing wife and two kids. In my previous work life, I spent the last 12 years working in information technology helping school districts, cities, and local municipalities meet their IT goals. I look forward to sharing this passion and knowledge of bike craft with you!
