Hometown: Hoboken, NJ

My bikes: Cannndale "Penn State" special.

My favorite bike: Penntfeather

Some personal history: Was one of Erik Scott's roommates way back in 1990 at Penn State. Graduation in 1992 and moved to Washington DC and then NYC. A few years ago, Erik called me and said, "Do you want to buy The Bicycle Shop with me?" I said, "No". Three months later we were happily continuing the tradition of providing State College the service it has come to expect from The Bicycle Shop since 1946.

Favorite Ride: That's personal!

Accomplishments: Have known Erik Scott since 1990 and I still like the guy; Running the Nittany Valley Half Marathon hung-over as Joe Whitman rode his bike next to me explaining how much easier it was riding the course than running it; When I visit Penn State, I still feel like one of the students.
