Role: Team Leader
Customer Service Experience: Started out in the Joondalup store back in 2017, really excited to be heading up a great team in Belmont!

Expertise: Love my roadies, and rebuilt a classic 1970's Raleigh. Just bought a new HT Mountain Bike too!
What do you love about bikes?: Bikes can get you away from it all. Literally! Cycling was a major part of my weight loss journey too.
Current Bikes: Merida Scultura 5000, Merida Big 9 Ltd, Giant Trance X3.
Favourite Ride: Living in Scarborough, the ride to Burns Beach or Freo is great. Or loops of the river with plenty of places for a coffee or a beer! Trails at Kalamunda are fantastic, even if my skills need some work!

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.

Favourite Ride: Boxing Day Pappas. And yes its as hectic as they say.
