Bryan Benitez McClelland
President, CEO & Founder of Bambike
Bryan, a proud Filipino-American, started to ride a bike when he was 5 years old. When he was cruising down the hill behind the civic center where he learned on his little red bike, he never dreamed that one day he would building bikes, let alone making them out of bamboo. The idea came to him while he was working on his Masters of Environmental Resource Management at the University of Pennsylvania. His thesis was on sustainable community development in the Philippines – working to create the environmental program, now known as Green Kalinga, for Gawad Kalinga. Bryan’s vision for Bambike is to build the greenest bikes on the planet, and to create as many jobs as possible for the people that need them the most.
