Tony Martin
Tony Martin holds the office of Vice President of Financial Oversight on Cycling BC’s Board of Directors.
Tony is chartered accountant and international tax partner at KPMG in Vancouver. He first got interested in road biking in the mid 1980s when an elementary school friend of his convinced him they should get road bikes to be able to ride faster than on our mountain bikes. In the late 90s and early 2000s he got quite involved in triathlon but always knew that the riding element was his love. He’s made great friends and had fantastic experiences on his bike. Over the past few years he’s done many of the Fondos in BC and finally in 2012 he got the nerve to do some racing as a Cat 4 in the Spring Series, Barry’s Roubaix, Race the Ridge, Westside Classic, and a few Tuesday night races.

West Coast Racing was awarded recognition as Cycling BC’s “Mountain Bike Club of the Year” for its efforts. Having served as the Executive VP on the Ontario Cycling Association’s board of directors while residing there prior to relocating to B.C. with his family, Matt also brings prior experience with board-level operations in the cycling community to his role as VP Cyclo-cross.
