I
was never good writing things about me, I’m always that person who’s
helping other people so I never really think about myself. I'm a 25 year
old grown child pretty much. I finished my electrical apprenticeship in
2021 and I am working on getting my electrical license. If I’m not
riding my motorcycle or working, I’m on the mountain snowboarding, or on
the water wake boarding, I also enjoy camping and hiking.
When I was
told about the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge I was all in. I was looking for my next challenge in
life after finishing my apprenticeship, and I definitely found it. I
feel like I’m going to learn and grow from it tremendously. I’ve always
been the type of person to keep on pushing until the job is done but I’m
going to have to learn the line when to say lets get some rest and
start back up in the morning. So far the best advice i have gotten from
experienced riders was “just have fun and enjoy it” most I’ve asked I
got the “ride your own ride” and basic stuff like “stay hydrated” but it
was super nice to hear just have fun with it. My biggest challenge I would
have to say is directions, I grew up with gps generation “turn left in
500ft” I’m going to have to learn to pay more attention to signs and
which way I’m heading and facing, it’s going to be a challenge for sure.
I heard about the HHMC through another rider which happened to be my
uncle, he brought me to one of the bbqs while we were out riding some
twisties in Tennessee, he asked me “hey there’s a bbq in a few hours you
wanna go?” Didn’t tell me where or how long it was gonna take but I
went with it and I met a lot of riders and they were so welcoming and
family oriented, I knew I wanted to be a part of it, so I can’t wait to
earn it and become part of the family!”
I will be riding for Homes for Our Troops. HFOT
help the most important people in our lives whether we know them or
not. The ones that defended our freedoms to do crazy stuff like 10,000
miles motorcycle challenges! We owe them a lot and should help them any
way we can, like building homes for them to recover and get their life’s
on track on their own Homefront.
