When Mike’s not out on his mountain bike, he’s can often be found working on bikes under the watchful eye of his lab, Lola. He’s always loved the outdoors, and over the years, he’s discovered a passion for teaching. From hiking trips through Nepal to teaching scuba diving in Thailand, he enjoys sharing his knowledge with others, introducing them to new activities and helping them gain new skills and confidence along the way. He is a longtime Truckee-Tahoe resident and has been coaching mountain bike skills clinics in the area for multiple years. Mike enjoys talking about bike maintenance and setup and sharing his local trail knowledge with riders. As an avid advocate for the growing trail system in Tahoe, he is always willing to lend a hand during local trail maintenance days. When the snow falls, and it’s time to hang up his bike for the winter, Mike can still be found out on the trails teaching snowboarding to kids and adults.
