About Me

A little bit about me…I never know what to write about myself, which is kind of funny considering what I do for a living, so here goes... I am a professional writer and photographer. I have been riding quads for about six years and writing about racing, the industry, and the people in the ATV community for about five years. In that time my work has allowed me the opportunity to meet people from around the world.I have worked with ATVriders.com off and on since about 2005 and in 2007 took on the challenge of being a full time staff writer for the site. I also do some contract work for Can-Am writing race reports for their ATV racing division for the 2008 race season. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to take the things I love to do and turn them into a career. A couple years ago I took on another roll in the quad industry by getting involved with X-Factor Video, an extreme sports video production company based in the Los Angeles area. I helped with the production and casting of the extreme quad DVD called “The QuadFather”. I was even lucky enough to have many of my photos featured on the DVD. This was an incredible experience that allowed me to travel, meet many new people, and do what I love to do…RIDE! You can see a teaser for the DVD in the “Movies” section of my profile. If you would like to know more about me, just ask.
