ABOUT
I grew up riding road and gravel in Suffolk. One of the aspects I enjoyed most about cycling was tinkering with my bikes. This lead me to pursue a career in cycle mechanics.
I began working in a local cycle shop in 2021 and completed my Cytech Level 2 Bicycle Mechanic Apprenticeship (including Cytech levels 1, 2 & 3) in 2023. Upon completing my qualification I built race bikes for a UCI Pro Continental team and supported them at a handful of races. To further my experience I enrolled on the UCI Level 3 Mechanics course in Switzerland. Following this, for the 2026 season I worked with a GB and Ireland based junior development team at races in Europe.
