Kyle Clark
ASSISTANT MANAGER
Kyle grew up in Missouri, where he and his younger brother rode their bikes daily—and added crushed soda cans to their rear tires for a cool motorcycle sound effect. Fast forward. Kyle joined the Air National Guard as a firefighter, finding himself a transplant to Southern Utah after six deployments and 23 years later. He and his wife, Angel, along with their two boys, have lived here for about four years—three of which has been in the bike industry.
