Summary

I am a current graduate student at Sacramento State and have an absolute passion for bikes and the industry. Getting people outside and on a bike is why I enjoy the work. I am an experienced bike technician with a strong focus on suspension service and complex repairs, working quickly without cutting corners. I am capable of managing my own workflow to meet shop demand and comfortable handling everything from standard service to more technical builds or diagnostics.
