NOVATO, Calif. (BRAIN) — TK Rep Group will be representing Marin Mountain Bikes in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Hawaii and portions of Northern and Central California, the company announced this week.
TK founder Thomas Kern has been in the bicycle industry for nearly 15 years, working for such brands as Hammer Nutrition, Yuba Bicycles and Advanced Sports International, where he was named Salesperson of the Year in 2011. He has been an independent rep since 2001 and also represents Arundel, Bern Helmets, BionX, Canari/Shebeest, and Hutchinson.
TK's Megan Fulton spent years in IBD retail management prior to coming onboard with TK Rep Group a year ago. "I have always been a fan of Marin," said Kern, "and after being with Breezer for several years, we are super-excited to rep Marin Bikes, the last bicycle brand that remains in Marin County. Marin has really made great strides in the past few years with innovation and style, and is a perfect offering for our group. The team at Marin is stellar, and we are looking forward to helping them grow on the West Coast and ensuring that they continue to be that iconic, NorCal brand."
Tom Jackson, Marin's western regional sales manager, said, "We are looking forward to working with Tom Kern and his group. They will be an essential in helping Marin Bikes provide excellent service to our current dealer base, as well as and grow our future business in the Pacific Northwest."
