My Story

2 Sep 2025

1983 - Cancer

1985 - Graduate High School

1987 - Start Racing Motorcycles

1989 - Moved to Colorado

And it's felt like that all these years. Life is full of change. Just last year we moved from California to Kansas. It screwed up my GCC ride - that is for sure. As we begin to settle in here in Kansas, I am so thankful for the stability it is beginning to create. I wasn't going to sign up this year. Last year was a bust and I am on a path here.

As the messaging was coming in, I began to recognize that there was no shame in last year's results. Everyone has good years and bad years, but it is how you rebound that counts. I am in. See you out there.

Please support me by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve. Kids shouldn't have to struggle this hard.

Thank you.
