About Me

I'm a father, husband, bike rider, trail digger/builder, friend, and dreamer.

I like cookies - a lot.

I value grit, determination, sincerity, loyalty, dedication, humor, and (most of all) honesty.

I am bad at saving money, riding bikes, and hiding my emotions.

interesting observation Sloth. I have a stupid-big cranium, wear only xl helmets previously, and fit perfectly in a size LARGE v3r. Moral of the story? One must try on any helmet before one buys.
