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.
