Brian Fruit, owner and co-founder of Lizard Skins, began cycling while he was at college for the convenience of getting around campus. His roommate was into mountain biking and got Brian to join with him on rides around the local areas such as Moab and Squaw Peak. He and his friends would even set up courses on the college campus to race each other, consequently, they had a few run-ins with the campus police who didn't have the same appreciation of cycling as they did. That didn't stop Brian and his friends continuing their love of the sport and the freedom and adrenaline that came from it. When Brian started up a bike company, it didn't surprise anyone.
Brian has a Bachelor of Science in International Business from Brigham Young University. He has been married since 1992 to Annette and has four kids who are all into bike riding. He enjoys anything with a wheel on it; bicycles, old cars, 4-wheelers, motorcycles, etc. His first bike was a Giant ATX 770. Brian's favorite part of running Lizard Skins is all the cool people he gets to work with. They all have a passion for what they do in this industry. Brian owns two bike shops in Utah Valley: Timpanogos Cyclery and Bike Peddler.
