About Me

I've had a variety of careers thus far and now am doing what has surprisingly become the most rewarding.. ..life as a Dad!!!
For the past several year's family has been on top for me, with a sideline of furniture design and crafting as a part-time home business.

How quickly things can change in one's life and before you know it there are kids. I never could have dreamed how rewarding yet physically and emotionally draining it would be to have a family. Thus far in life I am very happy and have adjusted well to my ever-changing environment. As the kids have become somewhat self-sufficent, it has made it a little eaiser. So here I try to convey my thoughts in a minimal amount of space. Perhaps it is best said that you must have kids to fully understand where I am coming from. Taxing yet rewarding.
The best in life is concealed until you are ready to accept and acknowledge it. Then you will be able to greet it with open eyes and outstreched arms. The mind kept waiting and the heart still beating. Realize life before it stops, for there is much to be learned and more to be forgotten.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet people with creative minds.
Musicians, Artists, Craftsmen and espically 2 Wheel MoFo'n riders such as myself.
Someone who can transform thoughts and images into works of art. I do not consider myself an authority or expert, though my creations are far from amatuer in design or construction methods. I am a self taught, lesson learned, book reading woodworker. This is probably one of the best hobbies I have ever had besides motorcycling. I have been able to teach myself a craft and create not only functional furniture but artistic pieces. One day I hope to pass my knowledge onto my children. Not so much as a career but to enable them to work with their hands, to become creators and utilize the artistic sides of their minds

I'd like to meet those that can thrash a motorcycle through the corners grinding down the peg feelers!!
Someone who isn't afraid to whack it and run it up to the red-line!!
I have never gotten a pro liscense but I have done track days and ridden on some great circuits.
I am a lesson learned over the years bike rider with over 125,000 miles and 3 IRON BUTT Certifications.
Over the year's I have taught myself techniques and methods used by the best something that only time and a lot of miles can offer.
Both my children are fast becoming very interested in riding the motorcycles as well. I also hope that they will realize the enjoyment that motorcycling has to offer as well as the danger involved so they may become good riders like their Dad!!.
