A bit about me

Russ is the guy who takes annual leave to dig trails…his heart and soul are in mountain biking and the Wellington community is very lucky to have him. Whether it is through his role on the exec of TrailFund, and an ambassador for Specialized NZ and Burkes Cycles, Russ certainly knows his way around a mountain bike, he’s been MTB instructing since 2014! He is super stoked to encourage people (and the kids at WORD) to love riding just as much as he does. As a medic for Peak Safety, Russ has plenty of experience picking up the pieces and is on the front line at Crankworx in Rotorua.

While he has found a way to incorporate Lego at his 9-5 job, we really know Russ is just dreaming about biking adventures.
