Riding is my Zen, the aligning force that makes life make sense, and a reminder that life is too short to get caught up in moments that don’t truly matter.

I’ve been privileged enough to experience classic scramblers and brats, hypermotards and streetfighters, café racers, superbikes, muscle cruisers, mopeds, ADV, and everything in between. I’ve been hailed on, rained on, snowed on, hurt, devastated, rejuvenated, and inspired behind my visor.

As the Editor of GritShift, I bring that passion to the page for others to enjoy. I’m thrilled to be involved in such a fresh and innovative part of the motorcycle world, and having known the GritShift team since before the company existed, I can’t think of a better seat for this ride.
