Esker Team

I show up at Esker every day because bikes improve people’s lives. Whenever we hear from someone who describes their “best ride ever” aboard an Esker–that’s what its all about for us. I make sure this value is reflected in all parts of Esker–from product that will always finish the ride it starts—to getting people excited to ride with us at demo events–we simply want all the riders in our family to have their best ride ever.

Simply put, life is better with bikes. And its especially true when
those bikes bring a group of individuals together with similar goal of getting more people outside to explore, wander, and breath in the surrounding landscapes...wherever they may be. I'm here to help those riders who have those same goals connect with the equipment and support needed to do so. If you need help finding that perfect backcountry exploration machine, I'm more than happy to help.

I joined Esker because I truly love riding my Hayduke on any trail I decide to ride. I am the one behind the Esker warehouse, I gather the final pieces before you receive your new bike. Whether it’s a frame or complete bike I most likely helped get it off to you. I enjoy that I have the opportunity to look over every frame and utilize my passion for bicycle mechanics for every complete build. I hope you enjoy riding your Esker as much as I do!

Answering your emails about all things Esker. I'm becoming more skilled at performing occasional existential crises interventions about which bike to buy (the answer is always the one you like most). Often find myself thinking of better answers to your questions on the training rides outside of work hours... or the light bulb turning on after finding myself hundreds of miles into a sleepless bike ride.
