Josh
Whether chasing trout through mountain streams, Chris on silly century rides, or his son around the backyard, he is always looking for the next adventure. In both business and and personal life, he's fueled by a love of experiences and quality which is emulated through the rest of the staff at ACF and the products and exceptional service we offer.
Andy
ACF’s “Web Guy”. A firm believer that bikes can solve many of our societal problems. He enjoys every type of riding, has way too many bikes, and can be found coaching his son's mountain bike team or at different regional fat and mountain bike races. He tries to keep up with his son on the bike, but that's probably a lost cause. In winter, he enjoys escaping with his family to St. John, their favorite Caribbean island.
Blaise
Blaise enjoys: intelligent conversation, complicated mechanical problems, people who think logically, and also simple things like quality beer, great music, and of course bikes. But that's just what his co-workers writing his bio know.
Chancellor
We know him as "Champs". He is our resident mycologist and #1 mango enthusiast. Whether it's gravel grinding, single track slaying, and just slow rolling to the next campsite, he can help you with your dream ride. You are most likely to catch him listening to black metal, doing wheelies on his Evil Offering the forest, only pausing to photograph birds, mushrooms, or his family. He once lost his keys, we unanimously decided it was due to one of his David Lee Roth style high kicks. The keys have never been found.
Stephen
Stephen has been in love with bicycles and the people that ride them for as long as he can remember. A year-round commuter for 20 years, you'll find him ready to ride with you if it's a slow ride around our beautiful cities, a local CX race, or a long and fast road ride in the hills of Trempeleau County. Stephen is a dedicated student of bike fitting and is a great partner to help you find your best bike fit and share some stories in the process.
Troy
A Canadian who relocated to Minnesota. Troy is an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys exploring forest footpaths and city streets. Bike, hike, paddle, run, swim, it’s all about the experience; do whatever makes happy.
Elena
Elena's passions include off-road bike touring, fat biking, gravel grinding, rock n' roll, and her dog, Andy. A born and raised Twin Cities kid, she loves to use our incredible bike trails to connect to adventures all over the state and beyond. She’s equally happy to help you find your dream machine for commuting around the city and/or getting out to camp in the forest (or both!)
Scott
Scott is a retired corporate dude with nearly a half century of endurance sports obsession and experience. He joined the ACF team to immerse in bike geekdom and holds down the fort on Angry Catfish website stuff. He can also be found playing mandolin and banjo, and trying to catch trout with a Tenkara rig.
Sam
According to Sam there is no better perspective on the fast moving world around you than from the saddle of a bike.
Daniel
Daniel’s been a year-round bike commuter for more than half his life. These daily doses of fresh air keep him smiling and keeping things in perspective. Daniel’s also a big fan of gravel rides and fat tire adventures. He’s pretty darn excited about connecting riders with equipment that improves their quality of life.
Josh
Washed up bike racer. I’ve been to Everest base camp 3 times, have my right nostril pierced, love for a can of sparkling water, #safetypizza5ever, memer, t-shirts over jerseys #jiayoulife
Otto
Pepper
I like spending my days sleeping, chasing bunnies and going for walks. I’m a bit shy, but if you have treats, we can probably be friends.
