Work Experience
Brand Founder/ Marketing Manger
Blesius Bikes2020 – Present
After years of working in the bike industry and becoming known locally as the person to go to for very custom bikes I decided to market myself globally and it has exploded. I get orders for custom bike builds from people all over. If you reference the business Instagram @blesius_bikes you will see just how much interaction I create. I average 3-10k likes per post and as many as 20k on some and it just keeps growing everyday with people contacting me for orders from all over the world. The way the bike industry is trending this will never be able to be my only business but it's a great way to show what I am capable of in the marketing world.

Sales Manager

Kind of a crazy time in my life as I was working at this store 4-5 days a week then doing a 48 hour shift as an emt. But this was mmy first job in the bike/outdoors industry and absolutely fueled my passion.
