Meet The crew

Jenine Schramm

At 21, Jenine wrote the business plan for a bike and snowboard shop after teaching skiing and snowboard racing in Japan. On July 1st 1995, Jenine opened Evolution Whistler! As Whistler grows and continues to evolve, Jenine's excitement for riding down mountains is as wild as ever and helping others to enjoy the mountains brings her the most joy.

Trevor

The lesser spotted mountain leopard has more in common with Trevor than you can imagine. Moving through the mountains with speed and grace, any photographic evidence of this mysterious creature is hard to capture without significant effort. Trevor is also a walking encyclopaedia when it comes to anything snowboard and bike related.

Maddie

It makes a lot of sense that this down to earth, talented, intelligent, happy human grew up in the Kootenies, in a family with roots in Whistler. We are super lucky to have Maddie in the crew -, you will understand what i mean when you meet her in the shop!

PS: Also find Maddie teaching dance classes at Align!

Sammy G

It's ya boy! Whistler's next top model, The Fresh Prince of Big Air, Sammy G. Hailing from the cycling capitol of the UK Bristol, Sammy has the perfect mix of technical knowledge and be able to go #FullSend on two wheels. Best served with a cold beer and DnB music.

Alex

We were thrilled that Alex decided to take a break from being a Physiotherapist in the UK and spend a couple of years with us in Whistler!!

Alex loves being in Whistler and in the mountains. His smile is infectious and his authentic passion for helping others matches Evolution's style perfectly.

Ross

Ross is a perfect example of the Evolution vibe: absolutely keen to help anyone and everyone have the best experience possible! Keeping it fresh, he's also the man behind all our online media. A true chameleon of the the mountain, effortlessly changing between snowboards, skis and bikes.

Ellie

Wow are we lucky that Ellie found us when she was looking for business to apply to before she left her home country in 2022. The fresh Architecture graduate recognized a group of people she could relate to when she checked our our website. Ellie brings happiness, energy and years of bicycle & snowboard experience and knowledge to the Evolution Crew!!

Lucky us!!

James personifies the store spirit of having fun at work and in the forests - you may even hear him singing! James is always down to help customers receive the best performance out of their gear through servicing, lending his knowledge of bikes and snowboards, and elevating all of the Crew Members' technical knowledge and skills.

Atsu is our bike ninja. Calm and collected, he is a superb mechanic. Originally from Japan, he moved to Whistler for the love of mountain biking. He is also our in-store guru when if comes to all things disc golf. You can find Atsu honing his lines at Lost Lake Disc Golf course!

We were stoked to have Matt and his non-stop knowledge in the shop as a Mechanic and Sales Crew member. Matt has many years experience in the industry and also many other industries! Matt is also an incredible photographer and has an amazing eye for animal and scenery images (which is also why the images on our website and on our shop windows are fantastic!)

Matt

Grant

Grant is BACK!!! YAY!!!!

We absolutely love this guy who loves living in Whistler and being surrounded by people who love doing what he also loves: riding bikes and riding snowboards!

Grant is from Connecticut, and tells us stories of how so few people understood his ways as he travelled to BMX races and places to ride mountain bikes every minute he could!

Grant is meticulous, and organized and likes his gear running perfectly. So he understands that YOU want your bike running perfectly as well!!

Sammy B

Sammy B is back! We are lucky to have Sam back in the shop as Mechanic again for summer 2023! After Sam completed his Mechanical Engineering degree in the UK he headed to Whistler to service bikes at Evolution Whistler in the summer of 2018! Sammy worked with us for two summers before trying out other options in his engineering field, but has ultimately returned the great company of work mates at Evolution for the summer of 2023!

Aidan

Aidan is calm and thoughtful - very much the style of mechanic you would like working on your high performance rig!! Aidan is recognizable by his non-accent at the shop - as he is our ONLY Canadian in the Service Shop! We are stoked to have you Aidan! And we know the shop in NZ will be stoked to have you again for their next season too!
