Over the course of my life in motorcycling I have traveled an amazing road...

...walking a line between being a highly successful AMA Hall of Fame off road racer along with being a corporate executive in companies including KTM, Husqvarna, Zero Motorcycles, and BMW. 
Through this journey, I have learned a lot about the motorcycle business, met many great people, and have enjoyed experiences and relationships that have made me the person I am today. From multiple overall wins at the Baja 1000 and Baja 500 to winning Raid Rallies in North Africa to crossing the finish line at Dakar to creating new products, new companies, and new brands I'm extremely grateful for the wide range of opportunities and experiences I've been blessed to be associated with. No matter the size of the challenge I've always reached for the highest rung on the ladder and, while failing gloriously at times, I never let the fear of failure guide me. I would love to meet you and potentially work with you or your company, to see if my knowledge and experience can be of benefit to helping you achieve your goals and aspirations as a rider, business manager, or entrepreneur.
