About Me

I enjoy outdoor activities including camping, mountain biking, snowboarding, and motorcycles. I've been snowboarding since 1983 and still can't do it as well as most of my old snowboard friends. Snowboarding is what made me decide to live in various parts of the Western United States from 1989 through June of 2002. I have a degree in photography and digital media which has been my main occupation since 1998. I currently carve foam packing peanuts out of giant blocks of styrofoam. It pays by the piece so I don't make shit and am always completely broke. I dig tattoos, and would like more. I love all types of modern rock music with a passion. I enjoy going to movies, art exhibits, ballet, sporting events, rock shows, restaurants, bars, and clubs. I've been known to party like a rock star on more than one occasion!! I have no problems with either being a homebody or being a social maniac. I tend to binge on one thing then move on to another. I love dogs and all animals but I'm very allergic to cats(sorry). Many things in the world make me laugh including myself. I road race motorcycles in the lightweight class of the Central Roadracing Association and sometimes in the Championship Cup Series . This mostly involves crashing and breaking bones. Much appreciation to the following companies for continuing to sponsor me despite crashes, mechanical problems, blown engines and lack of funds(Hey there have been an occasional good result in there as well): Converdia , Dragon , Vanson Leathers , Michelin Tires , CRG Levers , Motorex USA , Lockhart Phillips USA , Vortex Racing , Tekbolt USA , 2K Motorsports , and Suomy Helmets . Ex-spectator is the most kick ass...I mean half ass...race team out there! If you haven't taken time to check out roadracing, it is super expensive and can be nearly impossible to simply start and stop at the same spot without smashing your face and body into the pavement. You will end up poor, crippled, dizzy and resort to consuming mass amounts of alcohol alone in seedy bars. But you should still try it and take some time to learn about it because it's a damn serious rush! Most importantly support your local racing body and my body because it is almost always really beat to hell!! To be a member or get involved in any capacity with the Central Roadracing Association check out their website at www.cra-mn.com ! Check out the Championship Cup Series to find regional racing in your area at www.ccsracing.us ! Look up Kyle Knutsen at 2K Motorsports if you need any work on your speedy combustible engine driven bikes. If anyone is interested in photos of racing from the Upper Midwest Region see Jonah from www.momentumphoto.net , he's the man. Check out and add up Fuel Clothing, sick stuff www.myspace.com/fuelclothing .
. You scored as Friedrich Nietzsche. You are Friedrich Nietzsche. You are a sweet philosopher who believed that humans are caught up in "herds" and need to break free and be individuals. Also, there are no standards to judge against, because "God is dead." You also probably suffer from a mental illness, probably due to some form of an untreated STD, and will most likely suffer a mental collapse.
