I grew up near Califon New Jersey on a small farm. I have been a Driving Instructor and a Motorcycle Safety Foundation RiderCoach since 2004. Thanks to my parents I have been driving cars and riding dirt bikes and motorcycles from a young age. My first bike was a Yamaha Mini Enduro, which I still own. My dad, sisters, wife Jen, and daughter Sasha all ride. My daughter, Sasha, took the Basic Rider Course (BRC1) and wife Jen continues to take MSF courses to improve her riding and skills. Before becoming a family man racing motorcycles was the most important thing in my life, competing both on-road and off. After retiring my racing suits I decided that becoming a RiderCoach would be a great way to give back to the sport that I love.
