About me

I am an adventure motorcycle enthusiast and Coach at RawHyde Adventures, the official BMW Off-Road Motorcycle Training Academy. As an ADV coach/instructor, I'm afforded the opportunity to share my love of ADV Motorcycling with a constant influx of like-minded people.

I am a WFR (Wilderness First Responder). I often lead groups of riders into remote, off-grid locations and am able to assist anyone who may become ill or injured while far from definitive medical care.

I live in southern California with my wife and 4 incredible children.

PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT OFFER ADV MOTORCYCLE TRAINING OUTSIDE OF RAWHYDE ADVENTURES. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN TRAINING WITH ME OR ANY OF RAWHYDE'S AMAZING COACHES, PLEASE CLICK THE LINK IN THE MENU ABOVE AND CONTACT RAWHYDE DIRECTLY.
