"Count the people who you meet, not just the miles you've traveled"

​

I grew up in New England. Motorcycles weren't allowed in my family but, my neighbor had a 80cc dirt bike, and I would sneak off with him to the woods behind our school and ride. 

At 17 I joined the US Army and after 26 years, I received a full pension.

​

It wasn't until I moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2000 that I discovered Dual Sport / Adventure motorcycling. In my 20's I was into vintage cafe racers, and I owned a beautiful BSA 650 lightning, but adventure touring was the thing that released the moto-gene  in my DNA. It consumed me. For the next ten years I would dream, plan and eventually prepare for an around the world journey.

​

My passion for motorcycles and adventure travel eventually lead me to become and instructor with Puget Sound Safety and Puget Sound Safety Off-Road. It has been one of the most rewarding jobs in my professional career. When I return, I hope to pass on my knowledge to new riders and inspire them to take their next adventure.
