Meet your coaches

I am a native of Phoenix, Arizona and still reside there. Upon graduation from high school, I joined the Army and spent the next eight years as a Combat Medic. As a medic I was assigned to a Mechanized Infantry Battalion, Forward Support Battalion, and a Ranger Battalion. Following that I switched services and joined the Air Force, where I served as a Medical Technician, Information Management supervisor, and a member of Security Forces. I retired with a total of 22 years of service. While serving my country I was deployed several times to the Middle East (the sand box), and I obtained an associate degree in Information Management, Criminal Justice, and a Bachelor of Science degree in Management.

I purchased my first bike in June 2011 which was a KTM 950 Adventure. After many rallies, trail rides, and coming close to death more times than I care to admit. I realized I needed some training! So, in July 2015, I attended RawHyde’s Intro Class with Base Camp Alpha. I was instantly hooked on the training, the camaraderie, the people, and the kindness the staff showed as they helped each other. I returned for Next Step with Expedition CV and then purchased my first BMW R1200GSA. Today I own a 2016 BMW R1200GSA and 2022 Aprilia Tuareg 660.

I started coaching with Rawhyde in 2019. I am a Lead coach and find that position very rewarding and a lot of fun. When I’m not teaching or on a tour, I enjoy overlanding, mountain biking, backpacking, shooting, and most of all, challenging my riding skills on the GSA and Tuareg off road. I look forward to seeing you, helping you reach your training goals, and most of all having FUN!!
