| Occupation | Bicyle Framebuilder |
| Location | Boulder, Colorado, United States |
| Introduction | I love bicycles. I am a custom bicycle framebuilder. I build with steel, including TIG welding, lugs, and fillet brazing, and titanium as well. I spent 2 years working at Dean Titanium Bikes, learning the craft of framebuilding and some of the nuances of running a small business. I will happily design and build just about any type of bike, from cargo to cyclocross, track to touring - try me! Personally, I really dig freestyle fixed gear, street/park/dirtjump, and 29er frames, and I am a fan of single-speed bikes in general. I also have a special place in my heart for transportation and utility bikes, whether streamlined commuters or heavy-duty cycletrucks with custom racks, integrated lights, fenders, and chainguards. |
