Jarrod's Introduction

To the extended Baum family,

We are kicking off our Staff introductions on the blog and of course Darren's asked me to kick things off as i'm the newest addition to our team.

My name is Jarrod Hopkins, i'm 31, live in Melbourne and have been an avid MTB and Road cyclist for 15yrs. I've mainly ridden steel bikes, then onto carbon and now i'm patiently awaiting a lovely Baum Corretto later in the year (yes I have to wait just like our customers!)

I don't race bikes -although that might change in summer, but love getting out on the bike whether it be along Beach Rd, through the north east suburbs, out to Kinglake / Christmas Hills, to Lysterfield, out the back of the You Yangs or simply anywhere my bikes take me. Getting out on my own or with friends helps me clear my mind, relax and just enjoy life!

I've worked predominately in the wholesale Outdoor / Sport industries as a Account Manager for the last 11 years.

My role at Baum Cycles is varied across quite a few area's, generally i'm responsible for Sales, Marketing, Website and PR among other things - I'm your initial contact here for when we get a call or email.

Please feel free to give me a call or email should you have any questions about our current bicycle line or our upcoming exciting redesigned MTB line.

Thankyou and enjoy the ride!

Jarrod
