About Me
I’m not really the kind of guy who talks about himself—but here it goes…
I like long motorcycle rides in the moonlight… sorry, wrong group.
I’m addicted to motorcycle riding… sorry again—still the wrong group.
Well… maybe this is the right group after all.
I never said I wasn’t a smart ass. My journey started when I was young, like many of you. I watched motorcycles roll by and was drawn to the freedom, adventure, and pure joy that came with riding. I bought my first bike at 19 and spent many years in the street bike scene, racing around town and chasing speed.
As I got older—and hopefully a little wiser (This is questionable). I transitioned into the Harley touring scene. I began focusing more on long-distance riding and touring, and that’s when everything changed. I found that I enjoy this style of riding far more than just going fast. Longer rides, open roads, the wind in my face, meeting new people, and seeing new places, that’s what riding is all about for me now.
In 2026, I’ll be a newbie on the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, riding to raise money for Southeast Honor Flight. This incredible organization flies local World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans to Washington, DC, so they can visit the memorials built in honor of their service and sacrifice. These brave men and women deserve our deepest respect and gratitude.
All gave some. Some gave it all.
