The Motley Crew!
Mark & KC Neel, “The Fools in Charge”
Mark has worked in the bike and snowsport industry since 1985 when he got his first job at a ski and bike shop in Tacoma, WA, when he was in college. After more than two decades as a reporter covering the TV and entertainment industries, KC joined Castle Rock Bike & Ski as the official "door greeter" in 2004.
Jaden "J-Town" Townsend
Jaden has been part of our Castle Rock Bike & Ski family for almost five years now. He loves to ride his bike but his first love is skiing. He has become an impressive ski and snowboard technician and is one heck of a bike mechanic. He is also going to welding school and is at the top of his class. Jaden may be quiet, but he is probably one of the funniest and smartest people we know.
Andrew "Motorhead" Salazar
Andrew is a junior at S.T.E.M. in Highlands Ranch and races for the Highlands Ranch composite high school team. He is also an avid snowboarder. Andrew loves bikes and boards, but he is also a big car enthusiast and enjoys rebuilding engines. Andrew is currently working toward an associate's degree in mechatronics. Andrew's family has a long history of farming in the San Luis Valley and he wants to be either a firefighter or farmer when he graduates.
Jaden "JB" Brown
Jaden loves riding his bike, skiing, and playing golf. He is currently a sophomore at Castle View High School and races his bike with the CR Crankers high school mountain bike team. At the same time, he is also a member of CV's golf team. And don't blink if you're skiing with him because he'll be down the mountain and waiting for you at the lift.
Tess “Heir Apparent” Neel
Tess has been working at the shop since before she could see over the counter. She sold her first bike when she was five years old. She is the production/operations manager for the DU Prison Arts Initiative. But she still makes regular celebrity guest appearances at the shop. Tess is also involved in the Castle Rock Crankers MTB Mountain Bike Team as the team director. And whenever a spare moment arises, she can be found on the slopes schussing down the hill at breakneck speeds or on her bike with the wind at her back and the sun on her face. Her motto: The Mountains are Calling.
