About me; I grew up in Canyon Country, Ca. since the age of 10 and discovered mountain bikes when I was in High School around 1984. My parents had a home in Mammoth Lakes, Ca.
In 1986, I raced my first race, The Kamikaze. It was a stage race back then which included cross country, trials and downhill. I absolutely fell in love with it. I raced the Kamikaze over 20 years!
By the end of 1987, I had gotten a factory sponsor and raced as a Professional through about 1995 when I went to work for Answer Products, now known as Manitou. Having kids slowed me down and I needed to be home more. I started in warranty repairing very simple suspension but quickly moved into R&D and help test and create real suspension for bikes. The haydays!
After working for Answer Products, I got a job with Marzocchi to develop a rear shock. I created the first ROCO coil with pencil and straightedge, 29 hand drawings and shortly after that the ROCO air and the ROCO lite where designed. During that time, I got SolidWorks 3d design program and taught myself how to use it. The best and worst thing I've ever done.I worked there for 10 years until the company was sold.
In 2012 with a few other employees we left and started DVO Suspension. I was the lead engineer and designed everything but bottom cases and fenders. I designed all the dampers and air springs (with support from brainiac engineers) for forks and all the rear shock designs they currently use, Jade, Topaz etc.
That brings us to 2024, I get laid off due to "no revenue" coming in so I took what I knew and started TR Designs and Services working from home. I invested everything, from 3D design software to bleed machines and now a suspension dyno. I've done work as an engineering support engineer for e-mobility projects and currently work as a mechanical design engineer for the brand, Stablead. I even went back to college and got a AS in Water Systems Technologies. Flow math!!
As of today I've been able to get back to what I have always loved, suspension and bicycles. I'm not an e-bike rider still, to each their own. I've always loved human powered sports. I'm 59, and I still love the big rides and I love to put a smile on a felow riders face with detailed and dialed suspension.
Let's ride!
