I started riding motorcycles when I was in my early twenties and it has been an important part of my life ever since. Whether I’m on the street or in the dirt, riding a motorcycle has always been a stress release for me. It allows me to put on hold the daily routines and just concentrate on me and the motorcycle, striving to improve my skills every time I ride.
I am proud to be an MSF RiderCoach. Not only do I want to see more people on motorcycles, but I want them to become confident in their riding skills so that they can truly enjoy the motorcycling experience.
Motorcycles had my attention long before I ever owned one. Growing up, my dad had an Indian motorcycle, and I always knew I wanted to ride someday.
I started riding dirt bikes at age 36 and quickly discovered a passion for adventure, challenge, and continuous learning. Six years later, I began riding on the street because I wanted the freedom to explore on my own schedule. Whether I'm riding pavement or dirt, I love the feeling of being fully present, making decisions in the moment, and seeing where the ride takes me.
As an MSF RiderCoach, I enjoy helping riders build confidence, develop safe riding habits, and add more tools to their riding toolbox. I believe the best riders never stop learning. My goal is to help riders become safer, more capable, and more confident so they can enjoy the freedom and adventure that motorcycling has to offer.
As a child, I couldn't wait for my feet to touch the pegs and took many naps on the back of my dad's '91 Kawasaki Concours. In 2009, I finally got my motorcycle license and have been riding as far as I can ever since.
Currently, I ride a '19 BMW F850GS and have really enjoyed taking advanced training more regularily. Motorcycling really gets better the more you know. This year I look forward to more off roading trips.
As a RiderCoach, I want to help others discover the wonderful world of motorcycling and what it holds for them. I also strive to support women riders better.
