Our Team
From our Berkeley, California headquarters to Regional Offices in the Canadian Rockies, Provence and Tuscany, Backroads is staffed with a talented team equipped to handle every facet of our complex global operations. Sales and customer service, finance and marketing, IT, transportation and trip development are all in capable hands. These hands belong to:
Now in his 16th year at Backroads, Bob Greeneisen, Global Logistics & Transportation Manager, oversees all the "stuff." That's more than 4,500 bikes, nearly 150 vans and trailers (plus all the parts and pieces inside), and over 40,000 square feet of warehouse and office space in three international locations.
"With the help of an awesome L&T team, I make sure that every trip has the top-notch equipment it needs from start to finish." Bob, who was once the Concert Tour Manager for pianist George Winston (a job that took him to 48 states), spends his spare time tinkering on his guitar, biking the trails with his eight-year-old son, woodworking and planning the next family adventure.
"As manager of the folks who create our catalogs and help our guests choose the perfect trip, I'm continuously impressed by the energy level of the people I work with - and their passion for quality," says Massimo Prioreschi, Vice President, Sales & Marketing.
Massimo has worked, studied and led trips in Italy. In fact, though he was born in Switzerland and raised in Canada, Massimo's heart belongs to Italy. "Tuscany to be specific. It feels like home, because it's where my family is from. It's also the kind of place that gets under your skin—where you find yourself planning your next visit before you've finished the current one."
