A.J. Kamish

A.J. is a relationship builder who brings divergent thinking into every organization he works with. While fully immersing himself in the communities of Colorado he has helped to launch and run a guided Bike Tour Company, connect members of his network with each other to develop collaborative initiatives, and get more people riding bikes through programs like Group Rides and Skills Clinics. He enjoys all things two wheeled and on dirt, whether that be bikepacking, trail riding, or simply exploring our public land.

Colin Towner

Colin became involved in BMA through the Erie Singletrack Advocates trail projects in eastern Boulder county. He works with and supports sales teams and their customers to grow their businesses efficiently. He brings a background in data and analytics to BMA. You can find him on the trails believing the uphills make the downhills possible.

Aaron Juretus

Aaron is a director and software architect with a penchant for mountain biking. He brings his leadership and technical experience to help support all the things BMA does for the local MTB community. He enjoyed taking part in several of BMA’s offerings like group rides and skills clinics before becoming a member of the Brute Squad, a ride guide, and a skills instructor.

Bio coming soon

Jonelle Tucker

Jonelle’s interest in serving BMA is fueled by witnessing the passion and dedication among the staff and volunteers to mountain bike education and trail advocacy. She has been riding mountain bikes for over 15 years and found that learning and mastering the fundamentals has enabled her to have more fun while being a safer and more efficient rider. A “senior” among the group, her passion is to share ideas and implement programs geared toward riders who are newer to mountain biking and those who have experience and want to continue to be challenged at a more moderate pace. In between working full time and raising a family, Jonelle has been an avid volunteer for the Lyons community, a youth advocate, and a member of Team Rubicon (a disaster relief organization). 

Kelsey Wisinski

Kelsey is a South Boulder transplant from small town Nebraska. Extreme sports are her calling, she started racing dirt bikes at age 9 and was competitive in Muay Thai for over a decade. Now she is an avid trail rider and competitive downhill mountain biker. She is a physical therapist, and manager of Ability Physical Therapy in Longmont. During the week you can usually find her on Bitterbrush after work, and on the weekends at the downhill park in her favorite Hawaiian shirt. Her favorite way to be involved is leading rides and working with BMA volunteers.

Wendy Sweet

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Wendy has been an avid cyclist since her first two-wheeler at age 6. She loves all types of cycling, from touring to triathlon, mountain biking to commuting, and even a brief stint on the track. As a Colorado native, she started mountain biking in the 90’s. Wendy worked at IMBA from 2012 to 2016, where she became even more passionate about creating more and better places to ride in Boulder County.

Mike Rutter

TRAIL PROGRAMS DIRECTOR

Mike was born in Burlington, Iowa and began his passion for riding BMX bikes in the wooded hills above the Mississippi River valley in the late 70’s. He graduated to road and mountain biking in high school and then found himself building trails for the Forest Service in Idaho during college in the mid-90’s. That eventually led Mike to Colorado where he worked another summer building trails for the Forest Service before finding himself in Boulder, a burned-out roadie looking for a way back to the woods. He found what he was looking for with a position with Boulder County Parks & Open Space where he spent 2005-2020 building and maintaining trails. Mike now find himself in his dream job of building bike specific trails with his friends from BMA as we raise the bar for mountain bike trails in Boulder County and across the Front Range.
