Most people just call me Cotten. I was born in Oklahoma and was raised in Texas. I have lived in Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Friendswood, and San Antonio, Texas. After graduating high school, I enlisted in the Unites States Marine Corps. During my 4 years of active duty, I spent a year in Okinawa Japan. I deployed to Thailand for Operation Cobra Gold and Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I eventually ended up back in Houston, Texas where I have made a career working in Operations in some of the largest oil refineries in the US.
I got my first motorcycle when I was in high school, a Suzuki DR250, and I rode that little dual sport bike all over. I have been hooked on motorcycles ever since. I have owned all kinds of bikes from dirtbikes to adventure bikes and eventually settled on the Road Glide that I currently ride.
The adventure riding was a heck of challenge for me. Riding offroad in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico out in remote areas was very different riding for me. It was quite the challenge. It makes you more resourceful when you know that there is no one around to help you if you get in a bind. I think that will help me a lot with what is to come while riding the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. I look forward to the journey I will have and what personal challenges I will face and overcome.
