Sam

Sam Yo what up? My name is Sam Toshner, I’m a sophomore at Western. I’m a Washington native, I’ve only spent a half a year of my life living anywhere else. That half year away taught me more about how awesome of a place we live in than all the time I lived here before. You can catch me on the slopes shreddin’ snow with a board or dirt with a bike, I basically consider gravity my rival. You’ll also find me in the OC’s bike shop, toolin’ away on my Norco or enlightening the masses to The Way of Bike Mechanology.
