So darn cold!
My family and I took a trip back up to Michigan for Christmas and New Years. We had a really good time but it was so darn cold! When it’s minus 12, you can’t really enjoy much. We flew into Grand Rapids, MI, and as we got closer, the pilot made an announcement: We ... Read more
Oh, the Winds
Late last summer, my mom and I planned a mother/daughter trip to Northern California to go wine tasting in Napa. But as the day to leave drew closer, we kept a close eye on the weather reports about Hurricane Irma. It came right down to the wire: The Category 5 storm wasn’t hitting on ... Read more
Fun and Hectic
My summer has been crazy, fun and hectic. I had to travel all over the US to do AFMX schools. I taught them in Texas, Illinois, Colorado and Washington. They were a lot of fun, and I got to bring my bike, so I had the chance to ride with everyone at all the ... Read more

Happiest Riding!
Since I’ve done riding, racing, acting and stunt work, a few of my friends from the recent Marvel show suggested that I go after even more acting and stunt gigs. So I signed up on a number of acting sites, some of them based on my friend’s Sto advice. Isn’t it nice when ... Read more
Time to Teach
Now that the weather is warming up, it’s time to pack away the snowboard. I really wish I could do it year round like riding a dirt bike, but I guess I’ll have to be satisfied with the few short months of the white stuff. I’ve also been riding a lot more for fun ... Read more
