After 25+ years in IT, I grew wary of its rhetoric and inflation. Taking the time to reinvent my path, I turned to my passion for mountain biking and went in a new direction.The bike industry is as inventive and innovative as IT, but brings an element found in few others. Transitioning from office conference room to outdoor trail is inherent to the work. This mindset transforms partnerships into friendships, deepened through shared exercise and environment. Those who discover the secret, become part of a community that retains its members for life.The biking community is where my new path begins, doing finance and operations for an organization right in the middle of the action. Leveraging IT experience and architectures to suit the key brands of Krueger Outdoor - Esker Cycles and Terrene Tires, is an exciting challenge I'm ready to take on.
