I love bicycles. Designing them, spec’ing them, riding them, or singing their praises, I believe the bicycle can fundamentally improve people’s lives. Twenty years’ industry experience, from retail to OEM manufacturing and management, has instilled in me a deep commitment and passion for designing bicycle products that empower, enrich, and simplify people’s cycling and daily transportation needs. I believe products are a form of communication - physical examples of our value system. And the most amazing products in the world are often only as successful as the stories that tell them. My personal work ethos is driven by the ideas that “collaboration is essential for innovation,” “good is the enemy of great,” and “never let accolades stand in the way of genuine achievement." Specialties: product development, product design, and product management. Extensive experience building global product lines across multiple markets, executing annual product and marketing timelines on-time and on-budget, communicating and negotiating clearly and respectfully with European and Asian vendors and sub-contractors, and collaborating within and across departments to deliver innovative products and designs on schedule.
