After an extensive, nationwide search, Bikes Belong is pleased to welcome Scott Bowen as our membership development director. Scott hails from Santa Rosa, California, and moved to Colorado to begin work at Bikes Belong’s headquarters March 13. His wife, Nika, and their two young daughters will follow shortly. Scott’s primary goal is to maintain our membership base and recruit new supporters. He is also seeking strategic partnerships outside the bike industry. In particular, he has strong connections and knowledge in the health care world, having worked in the pharmaceutical industry for eight years and in other medical positions for four years before that. Scott began his bicycling career as a BMXer when he was six. He has been an avid cyclist ever since, working at two bike shops in high school and racing road and mountain bikes for 14 years. “Scott has already demonstrated outstanding initiative and enthusiasm to help Bikes Belong grow financially so we can put more people on bicycles more often,” said Bikes Belong’s executive director Tim Blumenthal. “We are happy to have him on our team.” Scott is available to answer your membership questions.
