Co-founded Redshift Sports to develop and manufacture innovative sports products. Co-invented, developed, and launched the Switch Aero System and the ShockStop Suspension Stem. Ran two successful kickstarters - one in 2013 and one in 2015. The Switch Aero System is a novel cycling product comprised of a set of quick-release aerobars and a dual position seatpost that lets riders transition on-the-fly between a normal road position and an aerodynamic triathlon position. The ShockStop Suspension Stem is a short travel shock absorbing and vibration damping stem perfect for gravel, cyclo-cross, bike packing, road, and commuting.Kickstarter campaign for the Switch Aero System in 2013 raised almost twice the funding goal. Second Kickstarter campaign in 2015 for the ShockStop raised over 350% of the funding goal.
