The Prez

Read Now
 
My days presently are split up three ways really.  The PBMA is a huge priority so I spend a great deal of time fielding phone calls, firing off emails, building the website and working towards driving the organization into the future.  Just to top all that off you can find me working at races throughout the year as a team mechanic or driving and jumping out of cars providing neutral service.

I got into cycling when I was 15.  I haven't really looked back since then.  I've raced competitively on and off-road.  I've been in and out of shops since 1991.  I've spent time working for Cannondale, USA Cycling and Specialized.  I've done contract work for SRAM, Mavic and others.  I've spent plenty of time on the road working for teams like Liquigas, Twenty16, Elita Pro, Webcor, Drapac the US and Canadian National teams as well as world neutral support at more races than I can actually remember.  I spent about 6 years working outside the cycling industry with a fortune 500 company, I gained and entire new set of skills outside our industry.

The PBMA began as a conversation between myself and a handful of others, some of whom are on the Board of Directors and some who were simply interested in professionalizing our craft.  Having been in the trenches (of all varieties) for many years I feel very strongly about mechanics and service.  I know there are challenges ahead and I am personally prepared to fight them on behalf of the PBMA.  For service the future is very bright.  We as technicians have the opportunity to help the future of the cycling industry by bolstering our personal skills tool box.
