Say hello to the team behind the scenes:
Clark Butcher
Founder/Owner
They say the first step to addressing addiction is admitting you have a problem.
Clark will be the first to tell you he is addicted to endurance athletics. He got his start with running at the age of seven. After running for a few years, Clark’s competitive passion led him to triathlon, where he naturally excelled in cycling. By the time he was sixteen, Clark achieved the distinction of a category two cyclist.
Pursuing racing full time, “Grizzwald” competed in events such as the Junior World Cup in Canada, National Championships, and professional-caliber events throughout the country. These efforts culminated in 2002, when Butcher spent a summer racing throughout Europe with the German National Team.
In addition to his years spent competing, Clark’s background in physiology and endurance coaching, along with extensive industry experience, make him uniquely qualified to run a business that is much more than your average bike shop.
Sean Vandergriff
Sales & Fitting Specialist
Victory’s Sales & Fitting Specialist has made his passion and excitement for cycling into a commitment to provide our customers with exceptional personal service — whether it is in-store, in a follow-up, or while out leading one of our Sunday group rides.
A New Orleans native, Midtowner, and eclectic personality, Sean thrives knowing that a bike can be and mean so many things to so many different types of people and that a simple conversation can make their experience with one exponentially better.
With an affinity for design, aesthetics, and form, as well as having ridden numerous events himself, Sean puts his skills and knowledge to work as our Fitting Specialist to ensure your comfort, ability, and goals align with success.
Zach Crandall
Service & Repair Specialist
The newest member of the Victory squad is anything but new to cycling.
Born and raised in Memphis, Zach has devoted his entire career to the cycling industry, wrenching in various shops throughout the country. With over a decade of experience, Zach has forgotten more about bicycles than many mechanics will ever know.
Recognized as a true talent, Zach joined Victory after spending five years in Northern California working at a high-volume Trek Bicycle store.
Terrance Ralph
Service & Repair Specialist
Terrance grew up in Middle Tennessee and attended Austin Peay State University.
Cycling was his primary mode of transportation until he was 23 years old, when he moved to Memphis to become part of the city’s vast and vibrant cycling community.
Today, Terrance enjoys reaping the rewards of servicing and repairing the bikes of our customers, bringing both care and precision to every bike that comes through the shop.
Richard Sorsby
Sales Specialist
Richard is a Memphis native, a CBHS graduate, and an Ole Miss alum who spent the last decade in Aspen, Colorado, immersed in the ski and bike world — turning wrenches, solving problems, and honing his craft as a professional bike mechanic.
That’s ten years of real, hands-on experience working on high-end bikes, demanding equipment, and riders who expect things done right. Exactly our kind of people.
Richard recently made the move back home to Memphis to be closer to family and friends, and we couldn’t be more excited to have his experience, stoke, and fresh perspective behind the counter at Victory.
If you see him in the shop, say hello, talk bikes, ask questions, or simply enjoy knowing that your ride is in very good hands.
