HOW DID YOU GET STARTED WORKING IN THE BIKE INDUSTRY?  

It’s all about who you know eh… I’ve known the Early family since I was 16. So it was a no-brainer to say yes when they offered me a job in the industry I’m most passionate about.  

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PART ABOUT BIKING?  

Being out and about in the great outdoors and amongst nature, The adrenalin rush, overcoming challenges on the trail and the people - all my best mates ride bikes.  

FAVOURITE TRAILS/TRACKS/RIDES?  

Craigeburn, Rotorua, Christchurch’s Locals,  Utah, Canada, and anywhere that takes me on back country missions.  

WHEN YOU'RE NOT BIKING, YOU ARE...  

Tramping, taking photos, travelling, road tripping, reading.
