President

Sean Fitzpatrick

First off, I love bikes! I initially got into road biking mainly as part of triathlon, while I was in college, but didn't really try mountain biking until I moved to Oregon in 2019. I love riding steep, difficult trails and big jumps and drops, but I am just as happy to pedal calm miles on XC trails or have laid back social rides. I enjoy doing trail work and helping out at as many DOD events as possible and I'm stoked to be able to do so in an official capacity. See you on the trails!

Secretary

Jeff Green

Keeps minutes of the minutes, posts on social media on behalf of DOD, designs and orders DOD promotional materials, and assists with other tasks as needed. I bought my first mountain bike from Hutch's in 1992, joined DOD in 2016, and became Secretary in 2017. I host the annual Holiday Lights Ride, developed the Golden Hoe award (now retired), and co-created DOD's new reverse steering bike.

Treasurer

Chantal Angot

After 15 years in Portland I moved back to my hometown of Cottage Grove and stumbled upon the trails at Wypass. It was love at first ride. I immediately upgraded my vintage mountain bike to a new Kona Honzo and attended all of the Disciples of Dirt events. I was thrilled to have found such a welcoming group of people who share my enthusiasm for bikes and community. In addition to mountain biking, I am an avid bike commuter and occasionally race BMX.

PR / Communications

Ben Hansen

When I'm not crunching the numbers and statistics at the U of O as a professor of Economics, I love riding mountain bikes, hitting the slopes with friends and family, and helping get the word out on DOD and other events related to cycling.

Rides / Events Coordinator

Brian Peais

I started Mountain biking about 6 years ago as a fun and healthy hobby. After getting involved with Disciples of Dirt, that hobby quickly became my passion! I've been involved with DOD for a few years now leading the weekly Taco Tuesday Rides at Thurston, and along with my wife, Ashley, running the merch booth at events. I'm stoked and honored to be the ride and events coordinator! Let's Party!
