NA Bike Commuter Profile
As part of our wellness program Next Adventure wants to acknowledge employees that take responsibility for their impact on this planet and make an effort to reduce it. This photo is a great shot of NA employee Todd Jefferies in his element. Our wellness coordinator Rachel Wagner recently interviewed this warehouse superhero about bikes, books, and bio-diesel. Here’s what he had to say:
Where are you from?
I was born and raised in Salt Lake City. It’s the only place I’ve ever lived… until I moved to Portland close to two years ago.
How long have you been at NA?
I’ve been employed with Next for just over a year… It’s an awesome place to work!
Favorite book?
The Dangerous Book for Boys, it pretty much covers everything a boy needs to know about life.
What do you do with your free time?
I love snowboarding the most, last season pretty much ruled. I’m also getting into climbing more than ever thanks to Next. I went surfing last weekend for my second time ever… I think I might get addicted to surfing.
What kind of bike do you ride?
I ride an old 70’s Raleigh Sport single speed with just a coaster break. It’s very simple and easy to ride… oh yeah and it’s gold.
How far and how often do you commute by bike?
I pretty much just ride my bike everywhere I want to go. I live up in NE off 33rd and north of Ainsworth it takes me like 30 minutes to get to the shop. I think its like 5 miles, getting home after a hard days work is the only tough part.
