Alaska, Baja, India, Peru, Patagonia, Mongolia, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Western US
Favorite Motorcycle Experience:
Summiting Mt. Wickersham in Alaska with the only four riders, of a group of over twenty, that made it to the top. We dropped into a saddle just before the final ascent to find hundreds of Caribou running along the hillside. I was less than four months post-op from a major knee reconstruction surgery, so this was an extra special accomplishment shared with a few MotoQuest legends. It was a magical experience I’ll never forget.

No such thing.
