The best thing about being a part of the Cane Creek family is…: It sounds cliche, but its just that a family. Some of my best friends work here! The company is small enough that you know everyone, blue being employee owned means we all have invested interest in making CC the best if can be..
What you’ll find me doing on the weekends: Riding and racing my bikes, having a beer at the wedge, and going on hikes with my wife and son.
How I got here: I started working at a bike shop in college at the age of 19. I worked there for 9 years, working my way up to head mechanic. Then I worked for Hawley Co. as a purchaser for 5 1/2 years before moving to beautiful Asheville, North Carolina. I reached out to Peter Gilbert about any potential openings at Cane Creek.. and the rest was history.
