Affiliations

If I'm not golfing with colleagues or random people I'm probably surfing or riding my downhill MB somewhere. I also keep season passes to big bear for snowboarding and six flaggs magic mountain for some adrenaline enjoyment. I have a healthy relationship with online gaming as well as RC dabbling.

I like to ride my KTM in the dirt and my DUCATI on the street.

Live music and comedy shows are regular things I do to help with the balance.
