Bio

I grew up here in Seattle on Capitol Hill right between Volunteer and Interlaken Park. I grew up skateboarding. Yeah I rode bikes here and there but didn't really get into them until I was around 19 while working at Gregg's Greenlake Cycles. I started working there in 2004 when I was 17 as the "Skateboard Guy" in their skate shop. When they remodeled in 2007 and closed the skate shop and the rental department down I requested to move over to the service department...

Skip forward 15 years and a few different shops around Seattle, now I am starting my own Wheel Building and Bike Service Company in June of 2022.

Wheel building has always been my favorite part of bike mechanics and my specialty for many years. I am very excited to make it my focus with Whisper Wheel Works.

I am a Hardcourt Bicycle Polo Player and have been traveling the world competing in championships since 2009. Here is a summary of my Polo record.
