ABOUT

Austin was born into a family of bike racers and grew up in his local bike shop in Wichita Falls, Texas.

He has competed in countless bike races, triathlons, and marathons, but his passion has always been the craft of repairing and fitting bicycles.

After college and several years managing his hometown bike shop, Austin moved to NYC in 2018 to work in Tech Operations for a research startup that developed an early human powered version of ChatGPT. After eight years in NYC, Austin and his family relocated to Colorado Springs in order to have the space to build custom steel frame bicycles.
