Jamie, DIEHARD MTB'ER and FOUNDER

The Torq MTB story doesn't start on a fast descent; it actually began with an unexpected wipeout in my career. After years as a Creative Director, I was laid off from my design job. Instead of scrambling for the next office gig, I took it as a sign. it was time to finally commit to my real passion, mountain biking.

I've lived in Utah for six years now, and have spent a lot of time riding so many amazing trails here. I'm a diehard rider, and I bring a distinct, high-energy style to every design. My inspiration comes from 90s East Coast hip-hop, 90s thrash, and a greasy slice of NY pizza.

Tara, Co-Founder

Meet Tara, the Co-Founder who brings the fire to Torq MTB!

Sheโ€™s originally from Astoria, Oregon, the iconic home of The Goonies, so you know she's all about adventure. When she's not riding trails, Tara is busy as a 2nd grade teacher. But don't let the classroom setting fool you! Tara is an Air Force Veteran, bringing her discipline and grit from the military right onto the singletrack.

Kiko, Director of Operations

Kiko ensures everything at Torq MTB moves as fast as a downhill descent. As the Director of Operations, heโ€™s responsible for high-speed pace-setting and maintaining a strict "no-nap-left-behind" policy.

When he isnโ€™t optimizing workflow (or chasing it), youโ€™ll find him at the trailhead making sure every rider is accounted for and every post-ride snack is properly inspected for quality. Heโ€™s the engine that keeps the crew focused and the only executive allowed to demand belly rubs during meetings.

Timber, Head of Shipping

Meet Timber, the wildly energetic Australian Shepherd running the shipping department at Torq MTB. Forget coffee, this Aussie is the actual power source for the entire operation!

As Head of Shipping, Timber treats every delivery like a high-stakes herding mission. He approaches logistics with a frantic, brown-merle blur of enthusiasm, guaranteeing your mountain bike gear is shipped with maximum speed.

When he's not hitting warp-speed zoomies, he's demanding belly rubs that refuel his world-beating energy.
