Art 

Art is a man who wears many hats! He was introduced to mountain biking by his wife, co-owner Tara. While Art is an enthusiast of many outdoor activities including snowboarding and motocross, mountain biking is deeply rooted as his passion. So much so, that he is one of the founding members of the Tucson Off-Road Cyclists and Activists, a non-profit group dedicated to the maintenance and development of Tucson’s trails. An outspoken activist for TORCA, Art volunteered his time for over a decade, meeting with Forest Service officials, working on the much anticipated Mt Lemmon Comprehensive Trails Plan, or bucking fallen trees off of trails (he wields a cross cut saw like those guys in the timber sports competitions). Art’s passion and pride for Tucson is second only to riding mountain bikes. Art’s mission with Home Grown, as it was before Home Grown, is to share Tucson’s amazingly unique trails with anyone who wants to experience them. Art is a Level 2 “Air” trained PMBIA certified MTB Instructor, having coached hundreds of riders from beginner to expert.

Tara 

Tara is a professional rider with over 25+ years experience. With several Downhill  podiums under her belt, her first love is riding fast down big mountains. Favorite places of all time to ride are anywhere in BC, Angelfire, NM, and Moab, UT.

Tara has spent the better part of two decades developing better trails in Tucson and helping to make it a world-class destination for mountain biking. Tara has traveled extensively to teach mountain biking to riders of all levels at some of the most exclusive destinations in the country. Still, Tara spends as much time as she can riding local trails with her husband. 

Colton

Growing up in Tucson, Colton spent most of his childhood skateboarding and riding BMX. In 2019 he started mountain biking and it quickly became his passion! He loves riding fast down big mountain trails and racing enduro, but enjoys all forms of cycling. His favorite part of being a guide is getting to share all of the amazing trails in Tucson and making sure his clients have the best time possible. Colton works as a professional bike mechanic and maintains the HG fleet. When not working, he’s out riding his bike as much as possible.
