  Chris is a 5th generation native Coloradan. After graduating from college, he traveled to 13 countries for 8.5 months. This experience encouraged him to live in one country for an extended period of time. He chose Japan! Chris lived on the island of Kyushu for 3 years in the late 1980s, learned to speak fluent Japanese and met his wife there. Ultimately, that experience led him to create his company Pitkin Stearns International. For 30+ years, Pitkin Stearns has exported end consumer goods to Japan. In 2007, Chris decided to start importing as well. Pitkin Stearns now is the US exclusive agent for several high-quality consumer end products.  Chris and his wife have three young adult children. He has been actively involved in Cycling Without Age Littleton since 2020 as a pilot, certifier of new pilots and Advisory Committee member. Chris loves being outdoors whether it be on his bicycle, a fishing stream, a ski slope, on a softball diamond or barbecuing on his grill. 

Mike grew up in Washington State, served six years in the Marine Corps, and still enjoys being actively engaged in public service today through a role in local government. He spent 10 years in Arizona before moving his family to Littleton with their adventurous Yorkie, Josie. They love participating in Littleton community events like concerts, the Criterium cycle race, Western Welcome Week, and so much more. He felt an instant connection with the CWAL mission and community, seeing these shared trishaw experiences as an ideal way to connect with and learn from community members like you.
