Other 'Dangerous' Hobbies

@tjkoyen – What did you do @ Trek?

I started as a production design intern, fitting graphics to bike frames, then I worked in the Retail Services department designing in-store graphics for all their bike stores. Finally, I was a product graphic designer for Bontrager. I designed graphics for wheels, tires, helmets, saddles, and other components.

Climbing is always fun, I ski too. That’s about it for my adventure sports. Trying to get into mountaineering though
