About Me
Like you, I’m a cyclist. Over the years, I’ve had a wide
variety of cycling experiences, touring, racing, and
most recently, randonneuring. In 2007, I was the fourth
US finisher at Paris-Brest-Paris, finishing the 762 mile
event in 55 hours, 49 minutes and earning me membership
in the
Societe Charly Miller.
I rode a bicycle I’d designed and built specially for
that event.
I’m trained and certified as a bicycle frame builder
by United Bicycle Institute, and I have been building
frames since 1999. I work almost exclusively in
steel, either lugged or fillet brazed, and I use a
wide variety of steel bicycle tubing, lugs and fittings,
sourced worldwide. I have designed and built much of the
precision equipment I use to manufacture top quality
frames, and I design and build frame components as
needed for unusual applications.
I’m also a mechanical engineer, holding a Master’s
Degree from Stanford University. Specializing in Product
Design, my engineering career focused around new
technologies, design and manufacturing, affording me unusual insight
into materials, metallurgy, design innovations,
manufacturing methods, and metrology – all subjects
intensely relevant to designing and manufacturing
bicycle frames. I’m a holder of fourteen US Patents.
