Economic development takes many forms. The EDCUtah model of growing Utah one company at a time is one way. There is equally important work taking place at the street level, one individual at a time. The Bicycle Collective is an example of this people-centric approach to grow our economy, by giving residents more ability to engage in meaningful work opportunities or career paths.

Dustin began his career in the cycling industry as a junior road racer working and wrenching in shops to support his racing ambitions. At one point he had a 50 mile round-trip commute from Bountiful to Millcreek Bicycles. In 2010, Dustin earned his USA Cycling Category 1 rank and had a top-20 result at U-23 nationals in the time trial. The following year he began working at Quality Bicycle Products (QBP) as a customer service representative.
Dustin became aware of the Bicycle Collective in 2012 after a snowboarding accident put an end to his road racing ambitions. In 2013, Dustin was hired as the Ogden Bicycle Collective’s open shop manager and eventually helped move the building from Wall Ave. to the Fowler Ave. location.
At QBP Dustin took on an additional role as the site ACE Coordinator. This gave him experience organizing volunteer projects and working on advocacy efforts.
Dustin spent 3 years immersed in the world of disc-brakes at TRP/Tektro USA working as a warranty tech / customer service rep / graphic designer / human swiss army knife before joining the Bicycle Collective as the Ogden Location Director in July 2019.
He loves helping people learn to fix their bikes and enjoy the sport that has brought such happiness to his life. Dustin loves mountain biking and spending time with Chelsea, his spouse and Edith, his daughter.
