Alex Gest Service Advisor agest@bmwofdenver.com Alex became part of the BMW of Denver team almost three years ago (June 2010). He started his career as a lot tech and in 12 short months earned the title of service writer.Alex has been riding a motorcycle almost as long as he has been walking. He has had so many bikes we don't have the space available to list them. He currently rides a Harley Davidson Street Glide.
Adam Bailey Service Advisor abailey@bmwofdenver.com Adam currently rides a Yamaha R6. His first bike! He is getting plenty of time in the saddle commuting to Denver from Castle Rock every day. In his free time he spends time with the love of his life... his 1 year old daughter as well as snowboarding and riding his new motorcycle.
Bobby Snyder BMW Master Certified Technician After graduating high school, Bobby took a strong interest in motorcycles. He began his career by washing Harley Davidsons at a local dealership. He spent more time assisting techs in their work than staying current in his own duties which drove him into MMI to obtain his certifications. Initially going after only the Harley brand, MMI began offering certifications in BMW. The technology and engineering precision of BMW peaked Bobby�s interest which caused a change in focus from Harley Davidson to BMW. As we fast forward, Bobby graduated from MMI with honors and used his newly acquired education to obtain his first job in Hawaii where he worked on BMW�s, Ducati�s, Honda�s, and Yamaha�s. After becoming a bit home sick, he moved back to Colorado where he started working at a shop in the Fort Collins area while also attending college to earn his Bachelor�s Degree in Finance. Fast forward a bit more, Bobby received an offer from BMW of Denver which he felt he could not turn down based off of their stellar track record and reputation. Bobby has been working at BMW of Denver for the past two years which adds to his previous five years of experience of which four of his total years working were under the title of Master Technician. When Bobby isn�t at the shop helping BMW riders enjoy their motorcycles, he is out riding the beautiful Colorado landscape with his lovely girlfriend Erica on his beefed up K1200S.
Matt Iles BMW Master Certified Technician Matt was born and raised in the Midwest where he first realized he had a love for motorcycles. In the mid 90's he started working at the local BMW store until his move to BMW of Denver in 2008. With 15 plus years of training under his belt, Matt is a BMW Certified Master Technician, Certified Master Service Advisor , Heritage Specialist as well as one of the preferred Police bike specialists in the shop. Matt currently owns a 2001 BMW R1100SA. His previous bikes were a 97' F650ST , 76' Honda CB400F , Yamaha V Star and last but not least a Honda FT500 Flat Track race bike.
Clem Cykowski Heritage Model Specialist ccykowski@bmwofdenver.com In the mid �60�s, I became fascinated with motorcycles and bought two basket cases, proceeding to build one functioning motorcycle from all of the parts, which I rode for a couple of years. Then came a new British twin, which soon became apparent was not going to fulfill the promise of long distance touring. A new BMW R60-2 was purchased in the summer of 1967, and I�ve been hooked ever since. I became interested in off-road riding in the late �60�s, competing in Enduros (including the Jack Pine), then motocross (remember the Coal Creek Raceway?). In 1972 I founded BMW of Denver, and have been here ever since, working in every phase of the dealership, continuing on in the service department as Heritage Technician, nonpareil.

Karl Von Rohr BMW Certified Technician Karl has been with BMW of Denver for going on five years. He was born and raised in the Midwest which is where he found a love for camping and gardening. When not at work you can find him with his wife Amy and their dog Stella. When not camping or playing in his garden, Karl likes to spend time on his 00' Honda Superhawk.
Tara Pina BMW Certified Technician. Out of 100�s of applicants Tara was one of only EIGHT technicians at MMI (Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) to be accepted into the BMW STEP program. The program is so prestigious that you have to be invited by the instructors to interview for the opportunity to enter into the rigorous nine week training course. The training consists of ALL courses needed to become a BMW Certified Master Technician. She believes every day is an opportunity to learn something new and credits the experience and help of the team at BMW of Denver with making her a better technician. When pursuing her dream of moving to Denver and working at BMWOD Tara unfortunately had to give up her Yamaha V-star Custom. Replacing it is only a matter of time. When not at the store Tara can be found spending time with her partner Tracie and their two dogs Malakai and Bessa.
