I learn best by trying to share and explain what I've learned with other people. That means being a story-teller is an intrinsic piece of my being.
I write about anything, primarily focusing on forms of adventure in life. Travel, motorcycling, design, aviation, history, business, the outdoors, philosophy, and music are only a few of my passions.

Sidecar Racers: Hanging Out On The Job
With no coverage of sidecar racing here in the US, we try to make our own. Some organizations have rules about what can be mounted and how it's mounted, limiting what we can capture on camera.

Shared: Flight of the Airsick Lobsters
I will let Air & Space Magazine tell the story; it is too good to paraphrase. Sometimes a story just needs to be told properly in order to be engaging. While we all want the drama and excitement of life-changing events, not every story needs a hero and a villain and a lesson. No, some … Continue reading Shared: Flight of the Airsick Lobsters
