I’m truly grateful for my WiseCracker customers over the years! What started as an informal bottle opener morphed into something unexpected with sales into 20+ countries worldwide! Special thanks to my brother Ken for his business intuition and sales acumen to propel WiseCracker well beyond my expectations! As my interests have shifted away from custom bicycles and accessories, please stay tuned for a relaunch of this IG to House of Mike with a focus on live fire cooking in beautiful San Luis Obispo, CA!

This toolbox project started as a collaboration with with generous support from and in 2021. After 18 months of frequent use, I like the organization and flexibility this case offers. Not comprehensive by any means but a setup I can use for my day job too! Most recent editions include and tools sourced from my local friend .cc here on the central coast of CA. Tagging for added visibility since that site provides me with motivation all the time!

Start 'em young.

Mountain biking isn't quite ready to overtake high school football among youth. Before long, though, it just might.
