We Are Life-Long Bike Revelers
A mix of dirt-bag bikers, die-hard creators, and avid entrepreneurs
We are rider-owned and passion driven, so we are fortunate to build the bikes and the company we want. Revel Bikes came to be to support our passion and to achieve our goal: to engineer and build the absolute best bikes in the world.
With other places that might make more sense to have a business, Revel settled on Carbondale, CO because we are more than just a business and with that, we needed more than just a convenient home. We are adventurers, skiers, musicians, artists, climbers, explorers and more. We work hard to be active participants in our local community. Whether it’s a community BBQ at our shop before Carbondale’s First Friday monthly fair or a quick lunch ride on Red Hill, everything we access here is thanks to our small hometown tucked in the Rocky Mountains. This lifestyle helps us engineer and create the best products that we use to play in our backyard.

Culture
building a life around bikes (and more)
At Revel Bikes we strive to be an engineering powerhouse set to the pace of a small family company on the Western slope of the Rocky Mountains. To achieve this, we go beyond the office work, beyond the meetings obsessing over suspension kinematics–we strive to achieve the intangibles that so often get lost in company cultures. Being encouraging co-workers, finding the right work-play balance, challenging ourselves daily, participating in our community, and taking advantage of all the fruits our valley has to offer–this is what makes being an employee at Revel feel like home.
Meet Our Crew
Founder and CEO
Born in Alaska, it’s no coincidence Adam’s entry into the biking industry started with fat bikes. Once finishing school at Colorado College, the lower 48 had won him over and with the exception of a brief stop in Utah, has called Colorado home since.
Adam Miller
President / COO
Like many others in the office, Ben began his career in bikes wrenching at his local Denver bike shop. Joining us from Park City, Revel is excited to have the experience and passion of a bike industry veteran. Time with Gary Fisher, Trek, and most recently POC provided the groundwork for Ben’s ability to grow, scale, an expand. With experience wearing many hats in the industry, Ben’s professional ability to manage and coordinate operations greatly complements his innate excitement for all things bikes.
Ben Coates
Director of Supply Chain
Welcomed to Carbondale from Austin, TX, it didn’t take long to convince Greg and his family to join us in the Centennial state. Greg jumped right into the cold weather and spends many days riding the lifts and getting turns in. When the warmer temps arrive, he doesn’t go far without his Rover and is quickly becoming the king of the endless back roads our valley has to offer. With years of experience as a director of supply chain, Greg embraces the challenges of growing a business in a small ranch town while enjoying everything the valley has to offer.
Greg Costanzo
Director of Finance
Not one to keep the load light, Ola is the master of balance at Revel. A man of many projects, Ola’s ability to balance work and play is unmatched. Tackling earning his MBA, guiding Revel through the ups and downs of a small, growing business, and still getting on his skis or bike every weekend are only a few things that make Ola one of the most motivating co-workers we have in the office.
Ola Verploegh
Senior Engineer
Born in Oklahoma and having lived in a handful of wild places such as Alaska and Colorado, our senior engineer Jordan rarely says no to an adventure, an ice climb, a bike race or some snuggles from his team of big bulldogs, Greta and Frank. Whether he’s 120 miles into the Fat Pursuit in Idaho or doing his 2 am lap at 18 Hours of Fruita, you’ll always see a smile breaking out behind that impressive mustache and sombero’d helmet.
Jordan Haffener
Product Manager
Born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley, we couldn’t be luckier to have a tried and true “loc-dawg” to show us the ways of the valley. Matty B brings a certain level of excitement and energy to all things bikes that is hard to beat. Whether he’s hitting the pain cave while he challenging his own PR’s Red Hill or he’s cruising the Rio Grande on his R+, a smile is never far, often paired with a “THIS IS F**KING SICK!”
Matt Boughton
Controller and Human Resources
Our go-to gal… soft spoken and easy going, Julie is much more than your number crunching desk jockey. It’s often you’ll find Julie turning into work with the adventure rig packed up and ready to roll to the desert, the mountains and everything in between the moment he clock hits 5. Julie takes all of our bikes to the limits… look for Julie stacking miles in the high country on her custom Ranger, ripping bike park with the crew on Tuesdays, or taking her little one to Crown Mountain Park for pump track laps, Julie is our fearless leader who is always encouraging Revel to be brave, lean in and push the limits.
Julie Young
Operations Manager
With as often as people are reaching out to Dane in the office, we sure are lucky he’s always up for just about anything. Joining us from Tahoe City, Dane doesn’t sit out for much… whether he’s rounding the crew for an evening softball game, hanging off a drift boat fishing the fork, or leading gondola laps on Aspen Mountain, we always can count on Dane for keeping the nose down river while we’re ripping through the rapids.
Dane Olson
Sales Manager
They don’t call him the King of Carbondale for no reason… between being a key piece of Revel’s immersion into our community as well as growing the Revel community beyond state and even country lines, Matt Hoogenboom always delivers the reliability you are looking for when making the massive commitment of buying a bike. Look for Matt cruising town on his infamous Big Fat Dummy, fully customized with a cocktail bar, grill, bb guns, and I can almost promise, more than you could ever imagine.
Matt Hoogenboom
Quality Engineer
Let’s go with the office trickster for this one… joining us from Durango, CO, Brendan is the fun and excitement everyone wants out of their hobby. Whether he’s wheelie-ing his Rover for miles on the Rio Grande or launching a fat bike 20 yards past the landing with two broken wrists, let’s just say Brendan will always keep us on our toes. Brendan’s knowledge and experience with carbon fiber and titanium bikes has elevated our quality control processes in a manner we never imagined.
Brendan Shafer

Addie Godfrey
International Sales Manager
Whether he’s ripping trails in the high country or fishing the fork after work, Will brings the positive energy and excitement you want everyday, from big adventures to your typical office day. Leading the charge in International Sales at Revel, Will excels at effectively communicating with distributors abroad to expand Revel’s presence in those regions. Don’t be fooled by Will’s easy-going, soft spoken demeanor- put him on a bike and he turns into a fast-charging, gravity chasing machine. Find him between the tape on Tuesday nights, often in a tight fight for the win with a fellow Revel employee.
Will Falltrick
Product Design Engineer
If the 3D printer is running, Eric isn’t far. Whether he’s deep in new product design or making fun accessories for the office fleet of Big Fat Dummies, Eric’s mind is in constant design mode. Give him a product idea and you’ll likely have a prototype in at your desk by the end of the day. If he’s not pushing the limits of 3D printing, Eric’s likely on his skis for a tour in Marble or getting shifty on his trials bike over at Crown Mountain Park.
Eric Krug
Purchasing and Inventory Analyst
Often known in Carbondale for his infamous blue bus, Brian is the epitome of one who simply loves all things bikes. Riding them, working on them, selling them, coaching on them, he’s done it all. Brian is often up on Prince Creek stacking miles with his trusty companion, Arrow.
Brian Danz

Shipping manager by day, tattoo artist by night. While he may be a shipping wizard, shipping hundreds of bikes around the world each week, Christian really finds his stride with a tattoo gun in his hand. Our go-to in-house artist, Christian’s other favorite art form is time on the river, seeking the perfectly arched cast with his fly rod.
Christian Terzich
Production Team Member
Most nights here at Revel you’ll see an adventure rig parked out front and a few lights still burning at a stand with Cullen putting in the extra hours to perfect his rigs. Whether he’s putting in miles on his Why Cycles R+ or pushing a fully loaded Big Iron rig through a blizzard in Idaho, Cullen is happiest on his bike, no matter what trail is ahead. Cullen’s attention to detail and endless hours on his bike makes him one you surely want building your new rig.

The man behind the wheel! Sean grew up in Minnesota playing hockey in the winters and jumping on anything with two wheels in the summers. Starting off in moto, its no surprise Sean-O is a man of speed, tricks, and often giving fellow spectators a heart attack. His endless hours and miles on bikes set him up to take his position with confidence and ease. Sean now travels the country with his furry pal Luna the Tuna for 10 months of the year, with a fleet of bikes in tow. Check out our demo page to see if he’s coming to a town near you!

After getting to know Haley, you’ll find its safe to say she is detail oriented, in just about the best of ways. Whether she’s placing parts orders that will carry us through a year, or she’s building up here Rail 27.5, Vital Bike of the Day, Haley gives her undivided attention when it comes to her bikes, her job, and her passions. With experience in procurement with the big dogs like Nike, Revel feels lucky to have Haley bringing her big city talents to our little warehouse in Carbondale.

Another local boy, growing up in Glenwood Springs, Leo knows the trails of the Roaring Fork Valley like the back of his hand. Whether he’s flying down Valhalla in the Snowmass Bike Park or grinding up a long climb in South Glenwood, Leo is rarely without a smile, a snack, and a funny story to keep your mind off the climb. Growing up in the mountains, Leo has found passions everywhere he’s found a gravity sport. We thank goodness for Leo everyday here in the office as he takes lead in analyzing inventories and fulfilling each and every order that goes out the door.

Britny arrived at Revel with the a massive smile, a love for all things bikes, and an inspiring eagerness to learn. Quickly learning her way around the production floor, Britny has enjoyed her most recent success of joining the bike building team. Britny doesn’t stop at bike building, all the while she is balancing her private training business and regularly making it to Green River to lean into some gravity and hit the free ride lines. Happiest in a full face helmet and riding risky lines, look for Britny ripping the bike park and drifting free ride lines in the desert!
Britny Ferguson

Hailing from the race scene in the northeast, Cooper has found himself right at home in the Roaring Fork Valley. Whether he’s exploring Marble on skis, finding his way to Crested Butte for the day on a bike, racing the local race series or sitting behind his screen at HQ in Carbondale, Cooper is the work horse and energizer Revel has been seeking.
Cooper Willsey

Jack joined Revel as a senior project with a local high school and we have felt lucky enough to keep him around for a few years! Starting off as support to the warehouse manager, Jack quickly took a liking for building bikes and now can be found on the production floor, cranking out bikes daily. Summer gets Jack out on his bike and often in his raft, while winter he’s pulling out the skates, rounding up the crew and heading to the rodeo lot for some night hockey!
Jack Kearsey
