Here’s some of the faces you’ll see around our Bend store…
Dan McGarigle: He’s the shop owner and always helping customers find the right gear for their adventure. Dan has lived in Bend for over 15 years. He has been in the outdoor retail industry for the last eleven. His product knowledge rivals his knowledge of movies and music. When he’s not at work, Dan can be found telemark skiing, riding his Santa Cruz Tallboy, surfing, snowboarding, backcountry camping, or even shooting hoops. Dan@PineMountainSports.com
Mark Campbell: Mark is from Philly and knows a thing or two about bikes and cheese steak. He’s the founder of Bend Oregon Single Speeders (B.O.S.S.) and doesn’t own a bike with gears on it. You know you are a bike geek when you have a custom made single speed tandem mountain bike and ride it all the time. Look for Mark snowboarding in the winter and racing cyclocross in the fall. Mark@PineMountainSports.com
Colin Bailey: Colin is our latest addition to our ever expanding service department. Previously he’s wrenched for the Specialized Allride Tour (a.k.a. Kirt & Lindsey Voreis) and he’s worked on the race circuit for Monster/Specialized and Brendan Fairclough. After nearly 20 years racing downhill Colin currently rides nearly every type of bike, including his awesome 83 StumpJumper commuter bike. When he’s not working on your bike he’s walking Jada (his doggie), fishing, and painting bike murals and totem poles. No joke. Colin@PineMountainSports.com
Joel Husmann: He’s not only a super dad, but master mechanic, avid alpine and nordic skier, and bike touring veteran. He’s done RAGBRAI more times that we can count and looks good in a trucker hat. When Joel is not turning wrenches and making us laugh at the shop, he’s cheering on his two boys at little league games and BMX tracks. Joel@PineMountainSports.com
Leanna Taylor: When not in the store Leanna is usually out snowboarding, mountain biking, xc skiing or even snowshoeing. Often in the same day. She leads the Dirt Diva womens mountain bike rides from the shop and is responsible for getting a lot of women fired up on mountain biking! Leanna@PineMountainSports.com
Paco Echevarria: Originally from Argentina, Paco has made the Northwest his adopted home and playground for the last 15 years. After going to college in Idaho and raft guiding for three seasons, he came to Bend in 2000 and got hooked! As many of us here, he got into too many sports, snowboarding,xc and bc skiing, snowshoeing in winters and rafting kayaking, hiking camping and backpacking, and lately fly fishing. Most of the trips are usually a combination of many sports! Paco@PineMountainSports.com
Chris Bowman: Bowman works at Pine Mountain Sports in the winter. Then often migrates to The Chili Pepper bike shop in Moab in both the spring and the fall. In summer Chris can be found back at Pine Mountain as well as guiding for Cog Wild Mountain Bike Tours. Over the years he has ridden more trails with more people than anybody in the shop. Chris knows every inch of local single track by heart and is happy to share his favorite ride with you. Chris@PineMountainSports.com
Jon Hansen: Jon is fun to ride with because he’s always smiling and relaxed. With a new baby at home he’s got even more to smile about these days! Next time you’re in the shop introduce yourself to Jon and discover why we’re so happy to have him in our service department. Jon and his wife, Sami, are big cyclists and super active in our Central Oregon cycling community. Jon@PineMountainSports.com
Jane Quinn: Jane recently moved to Bend from Montana and we’re so excited that she’s come work for us. She’s been managing stores in the outdoor industry for years and really knows her back country skis. From expert boot fitting to her endless knowledge of technical clothing and gear she’s right at home here at Pine. She’s been frequenting the Dirt Diva rides on her Trek mountain bike, so if you see her on the trails say hello. Jane@PineMountainSports.com
Ed Benites: Ed has worked in the outdoor retail industry longer than most of us, and brings his considerable knowledge and customer service skills to Pine this year. We’re excited to have him! He’s worked at big stores like REI, specializes in fitting ski boots, and is always willing to share a bad joke. Ed rides his Yamaha FJR motorcycle to work just about any day that’s not snowing. Ed@PineMountainSports.com
Henry Abel: Henry isn’t always visible working in the shop, but his influence is on a lot of things you see every day. From our website, to our custom clothing designs, Henry brings us his years of bike biz marketing and a love for all things 2-wheeled. He’s also pretty good at drawing pictures and changing flat tires. When he’s not on a tandem or a motorcycle with Amy, he rides his Santa Cruz Tallboy or Trek Domane road bike and likes to skate ski in the winter. Henry@PineMountainSports.com
Emily Haggans: Prior to joining us, Emily worked in inventory management at one of the countries biggest retailers for 10 years – which is why we’re pretty excited to put her in charge of our castle. On her days off she’s usually snowboarding, camping or riding the rockiest of trails with her dog, Odie. She also guides MTB rides for Cog Wild and is a regular Dirt Diva ride leader. You’ll usually find her in the back office, which she’s polite enough to share with Dan. Emily@PineMountainSports.com
