Board Member

 
 
Rich believes in the power of biking–empowering kids to set their own direction in life, and helping to propel them there.  Rich found independence and freedom as a kid on a bike, and fitness and challenge as an avid adult cyclist.  
 
When not on a bike or thinking about bikes, Rich consults on bank regulatory matters.  Prior to relocating to Atlanta in 2020, Rich held senior legal, risk, regulatory relations and governance positions for 25+ years at two global banks.

 

Sprague is our communications guru with a background in PR and community engagement. She currently serves as Vice President of Client Services for The Molly Fletcher Company, where she manages speaking engagements, content development and social media.

A former college hoops player at Emory, she’s affectionately known as the non-cyclist of our group. You can find her cheering on her favorite sports teams, traveling the world, or checking out the newest restaurants around town. Sprague commits her time to FB4K because she loves seeing the smiles and pure joy on the kids’ faces at giveaway day.

Brian Reed

Board Member


Brian is a problem solver with extensive client management and marketing experience. He’s worked in smaller organizations and multinationals. He’s been his own boss calling the shots as well as been the lowest ranking plebe fetching coffee – sometimes at the same time.

Brian’s first bike was a 24” Rollfast that was too big for his size but not his desire. He was lucky enough to grow up in a place where he could go anywhere on his bike as long as he came home when the street lights came on. He wants that for every kid and is committed to the FB4K mission – helping kids ride into a healthier, happier childhood.

Holly has a Master’s of Social Work in Management and Policy from Rutgers University and has spent the past 10 years working in non-profit and local government in the field of immigrant advocacy. Holly is fluent in Spanish and currently serves as the Sr. Outreach and Programs Manager for the Mayor’s Office of International and Immigrant Affairs- Welcoming Atlanta.

Although not an avid bike rider, Holly has witnessed firsthand the impact of bike ownership on children and their families, and the potential for bike ownership to transform communities. Prior to joining the board, Holly had partnered with FB4K for 3 years to provide bicycles to over 500 children. Holly is excited to be a part of FB4K’s Board to expand outreach in hard-to-reach populations and ensure that bike ownership is accessible to all, regardless of language or where they are from.

Stephen Wolfe

Operations


Stephen owns and operates a contracting firm that provides construction, remodeling, and project management services for both residential and commercial clients. He is an incredibly detail-oriented leader who keeps the FB4K team on their toes and working towards their goals. Stephen isn’t necessarily a “bike-guy,” but loves working on his bikes and riding them up and down the Beltline with a special drink in the cup holder, stopping by any of the numerous “watering holes” along the way. Stephen is committed to Free Bikes 4 Kidz because we spell “Kidz” with a “z” and “for” with a number. On top of that, he understands how important it is for EVERY kid to have a bike and enjoys working with the top-notch human beings in the organization.
