Vancouver based head of editorial at Pinkbike, the world's largest mountain bike website. Interested in new ideas for the sport.
Work Experience
Projects
A reality show designed to reach beyond Pinkbike's traditionally endemic mountain bike audience.
A tongue in cheek mini-doc created to lampoon the slow-changing bike industry. But, it turns out the extreme geometry I extrapolated from historical trends might actually have some merit.
We launched Pinkbike's video group test series as an annual event in 2018. It's grown from there, with three Field Tests in 2020, and plans for four in 2021.
Rocky Mountain's 2017 Slayer launch was a return to the brand's namesake mountain ranges. Fernie was an incredible backdrop for one of the most satisfying projects I've been involved with.
I produced a short film by Brian Vernor about bikepacking the Black Canyon Trail with a bunch of freeriders.
Yes, yes you can.
Speaking
Like everyone, when things locked down in early 2020, we started a podcast. It's mostly repetitive jokes and weird takes on obscure bike tech. Somehow though, our unvarnished commentary on mountain biking has become the biggest podcast in the sport.
Side Projects
It was a pleasure to consult on Munro Thompson's waałšiʔaƛin documentary.
The award-winning film follows several generations of Huu-ay-aht First Nations working to overcome the devastating effects of colonization, heal and rebuild their homelands, restore the connection to their traditional culture, and bring their people home.
Writing
The violent deaths of George Floyd and many others were a catalyst for reflection on something bigger than mountain biking.
Some words from early 2020 as the mountain bike community faced living in the shadow of pandemic.
Co-wrote one of the most challenging articles we've ever published at Pinkbike. Our reporting has held up over time, and I'm proud of the approach we took.
A coffee table magazine celebrating Rocky Mountain's 35 year anniversary, with images, bikes, and recollections from a host of characters. I'm not sure any copies are still available, but it was gratifying to see a lot of those stories put into print.
