Mike started riding about 35 years ago after begging his mom for several years to let him have a motorcycle (little did she know it would turn into a lifelong passion). It was a dirt bike, and he was addicted immediately, riding almost every day. This later turned into a garage full of motorcycles (mostly sport bikes over the years).

He now prefers long distance touring with comfort on his HD Road Glide Ultra sharing the experiences of the open road with his kids. He has a passion for teaching and sharing his knowledge with others; seeking to introduce new riders to the foundational skills and acumen that create a safer experience.

When not on long distance motorcycle adventures; Mike stays active with his kids, CrossFit, Snowboarding and Mountain Biking.
