About Me

This is the best life I've ever had. I have been in recovery since 1992 and have a huge God, I'm a volunteer firefighter for the best town on the planet, I am self employed and am also involved in the adaptive surf industry. I like to ride my dirt bike through the mountains, surf on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, snowboard the rockies, wakeboard with friends, visit with my family, get invloved in the lives of the people put in my life and enjoy each day as if it was my last one here.

R.I.P. OMEN..
