Our Staff
Robert Yoneoka
General Manager
Employee since: 2005
Industry experience: 26 years
With 26 years of industry experience, Robert has the skills of a cycling ninja. He's got one heck of an understanding in design, tech, and the bicycle industry. And who would know what goes on behind closed doors at a place like Rock Shox? He would. Why? 'Cause he put in a stint with them as their Aftermarket Sales Manager. Whether performing a custom fit for you on a new bike or your current one, his noggin is the Google of bike tech. He can even turn a wrench with the best of 'em.
Brian Stratton
Service Manager
Employee since: 2005
Industry experience: 18 years - straight
The metaphorical Moses of mountain bike suspension - he's got more practical experience than most pack into 35-year career. Whether it's building your new $7000 carbon Orbea or wrenching your own precious steed, Brian's the man when it comes to bike mechanics - be it road, mountain, vintage, or modern. You know you can trust his work, too, because when he's not slinging bikes at ProCycling, he's out hammering on the work he's done to one of his own many bikes.
Branden Rakita
Sales Associate and Bike Fitter
Employee since: 2007
Industry experience: 1 year, and Pro Triathlete
If you ever see this guy out on a training ride, be prepared to watch him ride away from you. Or run, or swim. Why? 'Cause when he's not working the sales floor at ProCycling, Branden's a professional triathlete. Being a fast guy on course is one thing, but he's long been an expert on road and mountain bike tech. And, in case you hadn't heard, triathletes are religious about their bike position. That's good for you because Branden brings that discipline to the shop. What more could you ask for from a guy who counts spokes instead of sheep when he sleeps at night?
Dave Gillespie
Sales Associate
Employee since: 2003
Industry experience: 19 years
Dave is one of the original ProCycling employees, which is a huge asset to the store, and shows one of ProCycling's cornerstone principals: striving to keep customers, and employees, for the long term. Dave's done it all at ProCycling - he's raced on the mountain bike team, he's spent years in the service department, and now he's on the sales floor. Not to mention the fact that Dave's been riding and racing since the early 90's - now that's a lot of saddle time! He's got the professional advice to set you up with whatever cycling needs you can muster.
LeighAnn McGrew-Lawrentz
Operations
Employee since: 2005
Industry experience: 1.5 years
Can you say, "motivation?" LeighAnn can. She's the Operations Manager at ProCycling. She'll give you top notch sales advice, point you in the right direction, and takes care of about a million other items that go on behind the scenes. And talk about multitasking: having raced on the mountain bike team in 2004, LeighAnn and her husband, Robin, had a baby, and she now runs marathons in her spare time. As if that wasn't enough, LeighAnn also leads a women's group ride during the summer months. Sheesh...!
Mike Vidovich
Service Tech
Employee since: 2007
Industry experience: 4 years
Mike never met a Red Bull he didn't like. With 20 years as an avid mountain biker, this guy has all the experience you need to keep your bike in top shape. As a service tech at ProCycling, he combines technical know-how with personal experience to keep your bike riding far longer than you can. The suspension linkage on a Trek Top Fuel doesn't scare Mike, nor does applying chain lube to an Orbea Orca. Got a problem? Come on in: Mike just slammed a Red Bull.
Mike
Wickizer
SALES ASSOCIATE
Employee since: 2008
Avid mountain bike enthusiast since 1985…Murray Scout with friction shifting top mount whoo hoo! I have a complete Mountain Bike Action collection dating back to October 1990! Can you say Mantis Flying-V? -Currently riding an Azonic Saber at 6 inches of coil sprung bliss and a 92 Alpinestar Ti-Mega (semi-retired) Favorite trails………..Since I’m a Woodland Park guy Rampart Reservoir is way up there and Lovell Gulch downhill can sure get the fun meter pegged. But then the all-time greats Porcupine Rim and Slickrock rate way high….Pria Ridge in the Azores Islands is great too. ¾ view around Tecera Island and a downhill to the beach. What could be better. Good luck getting back there. $$$$$$. Salmon Falls in the El Dorado Hills at Folsom Reservoir is killer also. Man I miss that one.
