Andrea Kopp
Bicycle Matchmaker, Rider Advisor, Marketing Coordinator
As our multi-talented customer advisor, marketing coordinator, and occasional bike tech, Andrea is passionate about how bicycles improve our lives. With over ten years bike industry experience, Andrea is happy to help you find your perfect bike and answer almost any question you may have.
When not in the shop, or devoting his time with Bike Santa Cruz County to teach middle school bike club, Andrea enjoys gravel racing, mountain biking and riding a triple tandem with his twins. As a full-time bike commuter, you’ll also see him on his Class 3 eBike – getting stuff done twice as fast and saving the legs for the fun stuff.
Nate Koretz
Service Supervisor and Customer Advisor
Nate leads our service department and helps with just about everything else. With more than twenty years of bike shop experience and five years as a motorcycle mechanic, Nate is prepared for nearly any technical challenge at the shop.
Natives of Boston, Nate and his wife love our Santa Cruz weather and waves. Most weeks you can find Nate on his surfboard, skateboard or both. He digs his electric commuter bike for getting around town and beating traffic.
