Team Sandbox SF, RideSFO Test Pilot
Whistler Certified Downhill Guide and Instructor IDP level 2, CTC Trail Leadership Award, past team member of PirateDH, co-founder of Trips for Kids Humboldt Chapter, over 100 days in the Whistler Bike Park with plans for the same at Northstar Bike Park. Comes from a cycling family, Dad still rides on the road, older brother races ultra endurance and bikepacking, and sister in-law is a pro XC racer.
Rides and races DH, loves All-Mountain riding (and never calls it "enduro"), with a tendency to race XC from time to time if it's longer than 35 miles, and trains on a vintage 80's Italian road bike in the winter. A background in BMX racing, and many years riding off-road motos, has given him a penchant for wide bars, full face DOT helmets, a point-and-shoot riding style, high speed DH jumps at bike parks, long hours on the bike for days at a time, and a tendency to make moto sounds when talking about mountain bike riding.
