Svenga holds up the front desk at Endless & is commonly the face that'll say hello when you walk in. He is a maker of jokes and a knower of useless pop culture references.

Click here to read more about Svenga!

Born and bred on the North Shore, he’s grown up exploring the outdoors of the Sea to Sky corridor. He didn’t quite take to cycling at first, despite the best efforts of his bike obsessed parents. He decided to give riding another chance while attending university in Squamish and the second time around a passion for cycling stuck.

Bikes have now become essential to his professional development, recreation, and growth as a person. He's no slouch on a MTB and can often be seen and heard giggling his way down Cypress and Fromme Mountain. Apart from cycling, he’s tried his hand at a number of other sports including, hockey, soccer, ultimate frisbee, skiing, snowboarding, surfing, and Muay Thai kickboxing. He accomplishes them all at a mediocre level, but enjoys them nonetheless.

Svenga is also a big fan of live music, film, and novels. He’s stoked on the opportunity to work for Endless and learn from the wealth of knowledge his coworkers possess.
