The story of Torq MTB begins not on a high-speed descent, but with an unexpected change of direction. After years as a Creative Director (career graphic designer), my career took a sharp turn when I was laid off from my agency job. Instead of searching for the next 9-to-5, I took it as a clear sign: it was time to commit fully to the passion that’s always fueled me—mountain biking.

Rooted in the trail-rich mountains of Utah, I’ve traded the urban grind for singletrack and channeled that pent-up creative energy into apparel. I’m a die-hard rider who brings a distinct, high-energy style to every design, a style forged in the melting pot of the East Coast. My inspiration soundtrack? The raw grit of East Coast hip-hop, the relentless intensity of 90s thrash, and the unwavering commitment to quality found only in authentic New York pizza.

Torq MTB is the fusion of my professional design expertise and my life on the bike. It’s apparel built for riders who demand both style and performance.
