By Andrew Gordon, Executive Director
Hello, everyone!
I’m Andy, and I’m thrilled to be joining Sharing Wheels as the new Executive Director (see staff bio). I’ve been so impressed by the incredible work you all do to make biking accessible and affordable for everyone in our community.
In my previous role, I cofounded and managed a nonprofit makerspace, and I’m eager to bring my experience in community building and organizational leadership to Sharing Wheels.* I’m particularly excited about the opportunity to help Sharing Wheels grow its budget and programs, and to find a new location in Everett that will allow us to serve even more folks in need.
I’m confident that with the support of our dedicated staff, volunteers, and community partners, we can continue to grow our community and increase our impact in the region!
I’m looking forward to getting to know all of you. I am planning to spend time helping in the shop each week. Feel free to stop in and say hello, or email me at andygordon@sharingwheels.org if you’d like to schedule a particular meetup. Until then, let’s keep working together to make a positive impact in our community!

*EDITORS NOTE: The board hiring committee was also excited about Andy’s experience addressing training, safety and on-boarding processes in a shop environment with tools and volunteers. And he agreed to go by his nickname “Andy” since we already have one Andrew working for Sharing Wheels. – KK
