Meet Us
The Fasst Family
Cole Townsend
President
Cole's the epitome of core moto. Eating, sleeping, and breathing moto is an understatement. A walking encyclopedia for all things two wheels. If you want to know who won the 125cc Broom Tioga National in 1992, Cole's got you covered. Cole and his younger brother, Kevin, grew up racing throughout the 90s which laid the foundation for what would eventually become Fasst Company. In the late 90s Cole was a freshman in college when he designed an industry first Spoke Torque Wrench, Fasst Company was born and the rest is history. More than 20yrs later, Cole's still in the office daily, heading up development and gracing us with his vast knowledge of moto history. Cole still spends most of his spare time at the track, this time around it's with his wife and two boys. Pictured above at the famed creek at Loretta Lynns, both boys are great riders and loving everything moto has to offer.
Chris Tidwell
Vice President
Chris is the nuts and bolts here at Fasst Company. The ying to Coles yang. Chris' family has a long lineage of history in the District 37 scene. In fact, Chris' grandpa was a founding members of the Jackrabbits MC and Chris' dad raced Baja when Chris was a kid, so naturally Chris was destined for off road. While attending college in the late 90s, Chris was a parts manager at Mid Cities Honda, a shop that Cole was sponsored by at that time. Chris and Cole developed a great relationship and when Cole wanted to start Fasst Company, he knew Chris was the perfect business partner. 20 years later and Chris is still in the office daily. Nowadays he spends most of his spare time on mountain bikes or tearing his house apart. Chris developed a high school mountain bike team from the ground up here in Southern Utah, the team started with 30 racers and has grown to almost 200 racers. Both of Chris' sons have raced for the team and were the reason he started it. Chris' biggest passion has always been keeping kids on bikes, moto and mtb.
Jason Parsons
General Manager
Jason has been around motorcycles since he was old enough to walk. Like Cole, Jason has a vast knowledge of moto history that hasn't proven valuable yet but we're optimistic it might one day. Jason raced moto and off road at a high level then eventually went on to mountain bikes. In fact, he's a graduate of our rider support program on the moto side. Jason was one of our top off road racers when we brought him on to do rider support, tech support, and trackside support. He played a big role in the early development of our mountain bike handlebar and has done about every job on the office side of things here at Fasst Company. We're stoked to have him here to keep the wheels rolling smoothly.
Eric Snow
Machinist
Eric is our biggest success story here at Fasst Company. Eric raced amateur moto as a kid before realizing he was ridiculously good at everything he put his mind to. From moto to mtb, jet skis to off road trucks, everything he does he does exceptionally well. Eric came to work at Fasst Company when he was a young kid, just a freshman in high school. Over the years he's done about every job he could do here on the production side, and as Fasst Company grew to the point where we brought production in house, Eric slid right in front of those big beautiful CNC machines. Eric is the first machinist we've had in house. He started sweeping floors here at Fasst Company almost a decade ago, now he's a crucial pillar of the company.
Joshua Cannon
Machinist
Josh is Eric's counterpart here at Fasst Company. He grew up riding mountain bikes and worked at local bike shop while he was going to school. The trade school he attended came by our shop for a tour a few years ago and Josh fit right in. It was probably our camo bar pads that won him over, and we're stoked to have him. Josh is an avid hunter and outdoorsman, but still manages to find time to shred two wheels when hunting season slows down.
Sophia Phelps
Rider Support/Engineering
...Remember that high school mountain bike team Chris developed? Well Sophia is NICA alumni! Sophia rips. Moto, mtb, it doesn't matter. She's a 2x Loretta Lynn champ in the WMX class and currently chasing the revamped WMX series. On top of being a two wheel shredder, she's an engineering student during the week and putting that to use here at Fasst Company.
Curran Tidwell
Shop Production
Curran is Chris' youngest son. He shreds on anything with wheels. Since the day he was born he's watched the hard work it takes to make Fasst Company successful so it's not surprising how much he's responsible for out in the shop. He's essentially filling all the gaps between Eric & Josh on the machines, and Ethan & Reese on the packaging and shipping. Currans job starts once parts come off machines and doesn't end until products are shot peened, anodized, assembled, and passed on to Ethan for packaging. He's built every set of Flexx Handlebars that have shipped in the last few years and doing a phenomenal job carrying the Tidwell Torch here at Fasst Company.
Ethan Monrreal
Packaging Specialist
Ethan's responsible for all the packing at Fasst Company. Ethan is a graduate of our rider support program. He lives local to us here in Southern Utah and shreds on a dirt bike. He spent the last few years racing Best In The Desert and Legacy in the expert class. We developed a great relationship with Ethan and the timing worked perfectly that when we needed more help in the shop, he was finishing high school and looking for a job. He has a high attention to detail so we're stoked to have him giving Fasst Company products the final touches before they're shipped all over the world.
Reese Tanner
Shipping & Receiving
Reese keeps the shipping and receiving side of things under control here. She was also part of the High School MTB team that Chris started. She comes from a family of two wheel shredders, moto and mtb. In fact, her dad, Rob, took over as head coach of the mountain bike team when Chris stepped back. They've raced the family class at endurance events such as the 24Hr of Old Pueblo & 25 Hours of Frog Hollow. Her ability to suffer on a mountain bike is impressive. She recently returned from a mission in Malaysia and we're stoked to have her back.
Axel
Meet and Greet
Axel's happiest laying in the sun and waiting for the UPS driver to bring snacks. Every now and then he'll bring you a ball and bark until you throw it. He's never met a stranger.
Miley
Guard Dog
She'd rather be mountain biking.
