Bill Mould
Some years ago I traded in my career with the Air Force, retired as a colonel, and became a full-fledged bicycle mechanic. It has proved to be the most fun job I've ever had. I've been an avid rider for many years - commuting year-round and going on 100+ mile group and solo rides in the U.S. and abroad - and I've always enjoyed working on bikes: solving mechanical problems, learning new techniques and applying new technologies.
I am a former civilian pilot and college science professor. I’ve often been told that I have a knack for explaining complicated topics in ways that people can understand. I'm also a Trek-certified mechanic and a licensed USA-Cycling Race Mechanic. I routinely read, study, and then re-study technical material and brochures. Still, I learn something new every day! In my spare time I enjoy time with my wife of over 40 years, my three daughters, their husbands, and my nine grandchildren.
