Hello! My name is Jake and I love bikes. From riding them, wrenching on them, to welding them, two wheeled machines bring me the upmost joy. I have been a professional bike mechanic for the last 6 years and will happily talk your ear off about why bicycles rule. I am originally from Chicago (go White Sox) and love to spend as much time as I can enjoying the mountains out here. I mostly ride mountain bikes and dirt jumps but enjoy just about every discipline of cycling. I am an open book about my life and what it takes to exist in the bicycle industry. I also like sandwiches and funny jokes.
