Meet The Staff

ABOUT US

Ron and Jan Brunk

Ron & Jan started Glacier Cyclery & Fitness about 26 years ago and never looked back. Ron still wrenches in the shop when needed, and Jan tries her best to keep the unruly sales staff in line. Ron was once a potter and bakes a killer scone. Jan was once a beekeeper and plays a mean accordion (if that’s possible). Ron & Jan like to throw together little projects such, as, say, sending 160 or so refurbished bikes to Mozambique, and traveling there themselves to receive the bikes, give them away, and train the locals to repair them. Ron & Jan love God, each other, most of their staff, and long tandem rides on sunny days. Ron rides the front half of an Ibis Cousin It tandem, while Jan brings up the rear. The Brunks are accomplished bike tourists and have good tales from their various tours.

William “Lee” Stanley

Lee Stanley came to Glacier Cyclery & Fitness and the mountains of Montana in 2001, straight from the island of St. Thomas where he, his wife Cyndy, and their threatening dog Stogey had been floating on a boat for four years. They’ve since acquired another friendlier dog and more “friends” asking them to dog-sit. Lee has canoed the entire Mississippi river and was once a private investigator, just like Magnum P.I. Lee likes snowboarding, Ford Broncos, hard-rockin’ tunes, reading, guns, and he’s the best non-practicing bartender that I know. Lee is currently down to two steeds: a Jamis Nova and a Kona Four Supreme.

Michael Meador

Mike came to Glacier Cyclery & Fitness in 1998 after working in various bike shops scattered around the American West. Mike likes to work on bikes with the exception of his own. Mike and his wife Tami have a young son, Owen, so presently a large portion of Mike’s rides include towing a Trail-A-Bike. Mike adores singletrack and sees no point in doing a 20-foot drop. Mike dislikes credit cards, telemarketers, telemarkers, teletubbies, and mimes. Mike’s quiver includes a Burley touring bike, a Kona Unit 29er, and a Santa Cruz Nomad and every one of them has a worn drive train.

Tyler Tourville

Tyler hails from Wisconsin and has been at Glacier Cyclery & Fitness since 2001. Tyler is the founder and prez of the Flathead Fat Tires and was instrumental in the creation of our new Dirt Jump Park. Tyler loves DH bikes, trips to Whistler and his wife Brandi, not necessarily in that order. Tyler’s stable currently includes a Santa Cruz V-10, a Santa Cruz Blur 4x, and a Jamis Nova which he rides on his huge commute from up near Canada and a Kula 2-9er Deluxe. As you read this Tyler is a Father.

Tim Killen

Tim came to Glacier Cyclery & Fitness by way of Missoula where he studied Recreation Management with half of the other students at University of Montana. Tim rides fast and is a well-rounded rider covering all disciplines, recumbents excluded, in any given week. Tim gets out a lot and is usually accompanied by his two dogs and his wife Meghan. Tim is a recovering river guide and a fine cook. Tim’s garage is packed with many steeds, including, but not limited to, a Santa Cruz VP-Free, a Santa Cruz BLT, a Kona Jake the Snake, a Kona HumuhumuNukunuku-Apua’a and the most recent addition, a VaMoots.

Travis Adams

Travis Adams, another member of the Adams family, is following in the tire tracks of his older brother Alex. Travis is a junior at Whitefish High School, an apprentice mechanic at Glacier Cyclery and an accomplished freestyle skier on The (it’s still Big) Mountain, executing flawless 720’s. Travis’s favorite place to ride is Spencer Mountain, practically out his back door, with his brother Alex. Travis rides a Santa Cruz Bullit and a Norco 125 3.0.

Clay Morrison

Clay comes to Glacier Cyclery from the southern climes of Missoula. It's been said that Clay goes big and it's been said that that is an understatement. Clay used to break rocks in a quarry, and for the first month he was here we didn't know he spoke. Clay likes dirt jumping, skiing, Toyota Landcruisers, PBR, and maiming Tim with sniper-like rubber band attacks. Clay lives with his wife Nancy, son Brody and their two dogs. Someday I would like to steal Clay's Ipod. So far, Clay's favorite ride is his Santa Cruz Blur 4X, and his quiver includes but is not limited to an Azonic Steelhead, a Kona Jake and the Hampton Pyro Cruiser he rides on his way to work.

Alex Adams

Alex Adams is a home-grown Whitefish kid who has been coming to Glacier Cyclery since he was a wee lad. Alex is a ripper, whether on a bike, skis or the soccer field. I once rode behind Alex on some DH trails in Fernie that caused me to pine for the days of my youth, even though I never would have been half that stylie. Alex (and a few others) won the 2006 Montana State soccer championship for Whitefish High School which became his alma mater the same spring. Alex is quiet, crochets his own beanies, and is on a personal mission to bring "the Daffy" back to prominence in freestyle skiing. Alex is riding a brand new Santa Cruz Nomad and nursing some serious body abrasions he picked up riding Blackcomb.

Jill Lehr

Hi, my name is Jillian Lehr. I graduated from Flathead High School and will be a sophomore at Western in Dillon next fall. I am studying elementary and special education which is why I do so well working with all the guys at Glacier Cyclery. I love little kids, big kids and special kids and work at a summer camp for kids with special needs. I own a hot pink townie whose name is Eleanor and ride her ten miles every morning with my mom. Come in and see me and I’ll sell you a cruiser, and a basket and a bell, and…

Justin Kuntz

Justin Kuntz, the newest mechanic wrenching at Glacier Cyclery, has been biking since he was three. Justin pulls a tail whip on his Vandal BMX smother than pudd’n, can rock Fernie on a hardtail and rides better than he walks perhaps from crushing his foot on a rail grind. Besides biking, Justin loves to spend time with his wife, Rylee and 10 month old son, Gailbryl. That’s right, spelled Gailbryl. Justin is a Jew4Jesus and can be identified driving a Honda with a vanity plate “Jewstin”. As well as a Vandal BMX, he rides a Kona Stuff. Justin is a great addition to Glacier Cyclery.
