The Team
Andrew Buckrell
Building on the success and experience of running STAC, Andrew is making his second foray into the world of triathlon and bike equipment. Having finally completed his seemingly eternal grad studies, Andrew received his Ph.D. in heat transfer and fluid dynamics, giving him the toolset needed to understand the science behind what can make cyclists and triathletes faster. With his invention of the virtual wind tunnel (VWT) cyclist aerodynamics service combined with extensive background in designing heat exchangers, Andrew brings a high standard of performance and innovation to the world of triathlon. His continual nerding out to make himself faster when he has reached his own limits of performance (mostly talent) drives the invention of unique offerings like the Cool Bottle.
Michael Liberzon
Michael holds a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto, specializing in plant design and heat transfer. He worked in engineering project management for 8 years before turning his passion for endurance sports into a successful coaching business. Together with Andrew, Michael has been hosting and producing the Endurance Innovation Podcast, which was the impetus for the startup of EI as a top-tier race clothing manufacturer.
Sean Peterson
Sean grew up in San Diego, California, enjoying surfing, mountain biking, and other things that he thinks makes him sound cool. Since 2009 he has been a woefully underdressed faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering at the University of Waterloo, specializing in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. He has dabbled in a wide range of topics, including the aerodynamics of cycling, exercise recovery technologies, and mechanics of talking. With the lack of oceans and mountains in Ontario, Sean has occupied his spare time other pursuits (where he remains woefully underdressed); he is a (very) amateur triathlete, (very) amateur handyman, (very) amateur guitarist and drummer, and (very very) amateur (immature, his wife would say) father.
