Hello Everybody. I am a lifelong cycling fanatic who grew up in TC, WA. We have fantastic smooth dirt here that makes for some great MTBing! I wrenched my way through 6 years of college at various bike shops, and I have recently graduated with 2 B.S degrees. Recently one of my old timer friends finally followed his dream and opened a vintage bike shop in historic downtown Kennewick Washington and I have been volunteering my services there while I look for a career. He introduced me to this fantastic site a couple of years ago and I have been hooked ever since! I am looking forward to competing in bike build-offs and uploading pictures of my own custom creations! I am a wheel building specialist and I love creating new crazy lace patterns and oddball wheels so if anyone needs any spoke-ing or advice let me know! I love fat knobby tires!
