The Pick Group of Young Professionals is proud to host IMPACT 2017: The Young Professional Influence, an event on the evening of October 7, 2017 in celebration of young professionals who are making a difference in the greater Riverside area.

The event will feature keynote speaker and acclaimed retired professional cyclist, Phil Gaimon. Phil competed as a professional cyclist from 2009-2016, including two years in the WorldTour with Garmin-Sharp (2014) and Cannondale (2016). He is the author of Pro Cycling on $10 a Day (2014) and Ask a Pro (2016), an ordained minister, amateur comedian, podcaster, entrepreneur, Fondo host, and creative marketer. His recent online series, Worst Retirement Ever, chronicles his transition from a professional athlete to a civilian and cycling enthusiast.
