Experience: I started riding to have fun and get fit and was instantly hooked. This led me to racing C Grade and then B Grade races. In 2011 I won my first race, the Pinjara Classic B Grade race. In 2012 I was signed to Plan B Racing team, an NRS racing squad and in that year won My first A Grade race winning the 2012 Armadale Classic. Later that year i was a team member of the State TTT winning team and won my first and only state title.Whilst I was racing I was working full time at a well known and prestigious bike shop in Perth and now have nearly ten years experience in the cycle retail world.
Expertise: Working in the cycling world for a while i have built up a broad skill set including product knowledge, bike fitting, bike building and mechanics.
What do you love about bikes?: Firstly the speed! I love hooking into a corner full bolt and coming out the other side (hopefully, not always successfully) unscathed. I also enjoy the freedom of being able to just roll out your door and you're away.
