Aftermarket Motorcycle Gear & Hard Parts
AltRider LLC
I was the very first employee at AltRider. I worked side-by-side with the owner to bring the brand and initial suite of high-end aftermarket bolt-on protective gear to the Adventure Touring segment of the moto scene. Industrial designers often need to wear many hats to get a product through the whole cycle of development and AltRider taught me how to do this while being accountable, punctual, and communicative.
I lost count of the number of products our very small team was able to bring to market in the first 3 years of business. I learned about hard part development, sourcing, prototyping, metal fabrication, and so much more. AltRider makes some of the highest quality aftermarket protective gear available and I’m so proud to have been an integral player in its rise to the top in this niche of Moto.
