Experience

Lead Mechanical Engineer
@ Stan’s

Stan’s is an industry leader in tubeless bicycle wheel technology, and I’m proud to have been impactful on the development of all of the progressive products developed there during my 9-year tenure. As the only dedicated engineer on staff for most of my time there, my work was diverse and extended into topics of internal and external quality, organization, product conception, management of testing programs, manufacturing solutions for vendors, and much more.

notable Achievements:

ISO expert/ASTM sub-chair for bicycle wheels
Stan’s Sealant Injector*
Stan’s EXO Core pneumatic valve for tubeless bicycle applications*
DART tubeless tire plug tool for tubeless bicycle tire applications
Rim & hub design, FEA, testing and manufacturing support
Test fixture design, sourcing & fabrication
*denotes patent-pending design

Bike life

We’ve spend some time “in the trenches” (i.e. bike shop service dept.) as well as exploring the various experiences that two-wheeled machines offer; motocross, motorcycle enduro, cross-country MTB, enduro MTB, downhill, cyclocross, commuting, bike touring, and more.

Our drive to consider, learn, and develop never relents; as the saying goes, every day is leg day.

All this helps us to better understand the needs and products tailored for an array of two-wheeled mobility markets.
