Michael van den Ham
Senior Coach
Michael has ridden bikes for as long as he can remember. Growing up he saved up and bought his first real bike (well, half of it) when he was 11. A couple years and a lot of lawn mowing later he bought another. And then another. He printed out sheets from the Park Tools website and learned how to fix them. At 16 he started working in a bike shop. At 17 he entered and won his first race. He's loved racing bicycles ever since.
Jordan Villella
Senior Coach
Jordan Villella comes from the steep streets of Pittsburgh PA. His love of athletics and sport started as a four-year-old hockey player from Aliquippa PA. A love of training and pushing his limits landed him on the Amateur Penguins and elite amateur teams in New York state. Jordan spent most of his teenage years traveling North America playing hockey and learning how to train and play like a professional. In college, Jordan traded his skates for two wheeIs. His love of racing started as a bike messenger racing alley-cat after alley-cat.
