            Kodakgallery.com/Sierra Nevada Operations Manager, Kurt Stockton brings 
            to the team a tremendous breadth of experience in every aspect of cycling 
            and the bicycle industry. 
             
            As a road racer, Kurt is best known for winning the 1990 U.S. Professional 
            Championship as a second-year pro. He also was a two-time U.S. World 
            Championships team member. In his "second career" as a mountain 
            biker, Kurt competed at the World Championships as well as an early 
            edition of the X Games. 
             
            As his career as a professional athlete wound down, Kurt transitioned 
            to a team management and product development role for Team Kestrel/Tinley 
            and Team Maxxis, followed by a seven-year stint as North American 
            Director of Promotions and Marketing for Time. 
             
            Following the 2003 season, the brewing company asked Kurt to take 
            over management of the team. After a successful 2004 campaign, Kurt 
            jumped at the chance to form Principal Sports Management Group with 
            Robin Zellner and the two started 
            the Kodakgallery.com/Sierra Nevada Professional Cycling Team. |
