I’ve been riding since I was about 14. I’m not sure where my passion for riding comes from as I’m the only one in my family who has ever ridden. It all started on a Honda CT 70 and just grew from there. Some call it ‘Wind Therapy’ and that about sums it up for me in two words. It seems that all troubles and cares are put aside for a while and I can just relax with a grin on my face inside my helmet.

I have a brother-in-law who has prostate cancer. Fortunately, it is not aggressive and the doctors expect he will outlive the disease. This is my only connection or experience with prostate cancer. I joined Ride for Dad along with my wife. I wanted to be part of something that would help others. Part of something bigger than me. Something meaningful. Ride for Dad has given me the opportunity to do just that while being surrounded with great people who share the same passion for our amazing form of ‘therapy’, riding motorcycles.
