I am a life-long and avid motocross and off-road racer.  i am proud to have ridden or raced dirt bikes on 6 continents

But more proud to share this passion and family bonding hobby/sport with my two incredible sons!  whether it's banging bars on bmx or mountain bikes

Or roosting each other on track or trail on our motorcycles

Life on two wheels has been a big part of our family dynamic.

i am a big fan of the outdoors and all action sports.  having been a competitive shooter and professional tactical team member

I do still enjoy to hit the range or shoot house and hone my skills. rock climbing

Skiing and snowboarding are activities that rejuvenate me.  skydiving and squirrel suit flying are on my bucket list to master

And i hope to tackle those soon!
