Building a bicycle frame starts long before the torch is lit. It starts with understanding the needs and desires of the customer. Basic fit is important, but that’s not enough. I begin with listening to the experiences that led you to me, your riding history, what your cycling dreams look like, what you want your next bike to be. My job as the designer and builder is to translate what I hear and see into a functional and beautiful bicycle. No two riders are the same, and no two bicycles need be the same.

I operate a one person custom frame building operation. Every frame I produce is completely engineered and manufactured by me. I do everything from initial measurements to material selection to each step of the building process. My background as a mechanical engineer gives me unique insight into material properties, the wide variety of available frame components, manufacturing techniques, metrology and quality – insight that is employed at every step of the process.
