I love music (play bass guitar), mainly rock, metal and blues. I played in a band from age 16 to 22 when I got into racing motorcycles. I raced off road (enduros and hare scrambles mainly) for 12 years but now just enjoy trailriding with friends. I am currently in the process of putting a 07 KTM 525 XCW together for dual sport rides and plan on going to Copper Canyon Mexico for a 7 day ride in 2010 with 5 friends.

I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2004, but have it under control most of the time. It has truly been a humbling experience. I believe there is good in just about everything, it has forced me to slow down and appreciate the simple things in life that I often took for granted before. I enjoy working out when my RA allows me to, trying to hit weights 4 days a week and cardio 6 days a week.

I have been married for 20 years to a wonderful girl named Donna who has gone back to school for nursing. Our only daughter who just moved away to college is also a wiki supervisor.
