Dave is a Computer Systems Engineer at Butte College. After years away from cycling he has been inspired to ride again by our friendly local cycling community.

As the most recent addition to the Board of Directors he hopes to continue growing and developing the sport locally with a goal of helping the next generation of area cyclists reach their full potential. He has also renewed his USA Cycling license, and as time permits, will race Masters and Pro 1-2 events as a member of the Corsa team.

Geno is a self-employed business consultant who has a love for cycling in Chico. Seeing the need for a race club in Chico, he handpicked seven others that wanted to better cycling in Chico to be the first Board of Directors for our club. With the leadership and passion of this first board, we brought a Downtown criterium back to Chico. Geno is anxious to bring his other ambitious goals for cycling in Chico to life as well.

After a twenty-year break from racing he got the bug to compete again. Geno's passion has passed on to his wife and two kids who now enjoy cycling and racing. Geno hopes their passion for cycling will be contagious as well.

James is a local physical therapist and owner of Table Mountain Physical Therapy, Inc., in Oroville, CA. He is passionate about living a healthy and active lifestyle and advocates for this on and off the bike. He serves as the vice-president of Chico Corsa, striving to continually advance the Chico area as the premiere cycling hub in Northern California.

While competing in triathlons, James was named as an All-American in 1999. He has competed in the US and World XTERRA championships. While he recounts numerous placings in his career, he celebrates the team victories far more. Currently, he is racing as a Cat 3 master's and training for impending fatherhood.

Jeff's responsibilities as Secretary include the yearly clothing order, managing team inventory and keeping the club somewhat organized at meetings. When he's not doing that, he spends time with his beautiful wife and daughter and is the principal of two alternative-education high schools in Oroville, CA.

When he actually gets to ride his bikes, Jeff enjoys time trialing, racing road and cyclocross, and gets in an occasional mountain bike ride. He's done a few S24O bike camping trips and toured down the coast. He looks forward to more adventures on the bike, especially if it can include the family.

Jeffrey is a board-certified anesthesiologist practicing at Feather River Hospital since 2004, and is the current president of Paradise Anesthesia Associates Medical Group. He has been racing road bicycles competitively since 1997, and in his own modest words, "[I] have met with moderate success." We know better.

More, in Jeffrey's own words: "I have a passion for competitive cycling! I have never been involved with a better club/team than Chico Corsa. They inspire me. I enjoy passing on those things I have learned that were previously passed on to me (by far better cyclists than myself or that I just had to learn the hard way). I support just about any cycling endeavor, not just racing. I hope to be a positive influence on the Chico area cycling community."

John is one of the newest Board Members, having joined the team in late 2008. His passion for cycling returned after a neighbor encouraged him to ride to the Covered Bridge. The desire to ride with others prompted John in promoting group rides; he now acts as a ride leader on many occasions. John encourages cycling for fun, fitness and social networking.
