Welcome to Ask John
I’m John Bauer , co-owner, master trainer, and user of everything we offer. As the head of Tech Talk it is my personal responsibility to answer your questions within 24 hours or I will put you in direct contact with our most senior and experienced installers and product experts… just send me your questions using the form below.
Since we opened our first store in 1991, (that would be 16 years ago) I was given the nickname “Rack Boy”. Anyways, I am now 40 and a little heavier around the mid-section, knees hurt, back hurts, ego is a little bruised but I still try to mountain bike, kayak and snowboard. I have slowly transitioned into motor sports. I try to break away with the family and friends to do a little wakeboarding, water skiing, dirt bike riding and occasionally jump on a snowmobile. I guess you can say that I’m the kid that never wants to grow up. Maybe I shouldn''''t update my nickname to "Rack Man" after all!
Between our 11 managers, my brother and myself we have over 100 years of product knowledge combined. We are not a sporting goods shop selling car racks, we are the oldest rack shop that specializes in finding our customers racks. We have evolved into the hitch and sport trailer market and have always focused on organizing your load carrying gear from the inside to the outside of your vehicle for that next road trip.
Now back to me, simply put I love what I do. From answering your toughest questions to bringing in new and exciting products, to giving training clinics to our 66 employees that are scattered throughout outdoor cities in the Western US .
