Bikes x Business
And so much more! Hill Climbers started as a podcast covering cycling-centric founders and is growing into a cycling community with networking at the core. Take in one of our shows, meet new people on the weekly group ride, and learn a thing or two.
Hill Climbers gives cyclists something to talk about besides just cycling.

I grew up in Center City Philadelphia and as a kid loved soccer and skateboarding. I started DJing when I was 15 so ended up spinning a lot in college, which carried through to my 20s. My first media-related business development job was at an interactive design shop, which led to co-founding a mobile survey startup and then joining a pioneering agency focused on D2C marketing and e-commerce for entertainment clientele (this was AFTER fumbling through a few jobs in my early 20s) around the time I started riding in 2013.
During my 9 years at that company, Fame House, we helped clients like Eminem, Alicia Keys, Phantogram, David Byrne and Mobb Deep manage and monetize their online presence, and in 2016 it became part of Universal Music Group, the biggest record label in the world. In 2015 I moved to LA where I met the love of my life, and was indoctrinated in cycling by a couple of key mentors before we moved to Austin in 2020. Here I was drawn to the ATX startup community, and became a technology banker in to support startups.
I love my wife, son and family, cycling (including virtual racing), most things having to do with fitness and the outdoors, business development, hip-hop, books, community building and creative pursuits like podcasting when I can get myself moving.
