In My Own Words
As a bike mechanic and competitive cyclist, when I think of my love for this industry I am drawn to a business model and company culture that is customer focused and invests in the community. Cycling to me is about people and happiness, I personally align with a mission and vision of getting people on bikes and upholding a team culture that is full of pride and innovation. With over 12 years’ experience in assembly, manufacturing and production, I believe my experience, values, and work ethic align with a company culture of creating a healthy and positive community. I currently work as a Bike Mechanic, in a fast-paced repair shop where I help with assembly, repairs, and customer service inquires with a positive attitude.
