Hiking, jeeping, gardening, trout fishing, shooting. I really miss sail boat racing now that I am no longer on the coast in Florida.

My passion has always been riding motorcycles and bicycles (mountain bikes/trail riding mostly)

I was recently VERY fortunate to get a job at my local bike shop. Now my hobby/passion is also my job. I was worried this might influence my interest in biking in a negative way but so far it’s been incredibly fun. The employee discount I receive saved me almost $1000 on a new Scott trail bike too.

I work with an amazing crew, get to talk to customers all day about my passion. On the busy days or days when I need to assemble lots of bikes/e-bikes the time FLIES BY. We had a lady in the shop last week who is building up nice road carbon wheels for her gravel bike. It was a blast helping her build up her bike to handle road rides as well as gravel.

Compared to my old cubicle in a call center my new office is a major upgrade.

These electric bike lifts are so sweet. Especially when working on a heavy e-bike.

I guess it would be Martial arts for me. 2nd Degree black belt in Aikido. Just got my purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Addicted!!

On the activity-side, snowboarding, skiing, shooting (of course), climbing and overlanding. I used to telemark ski for about 12-years, I went back to snowboarding 2yrs ago, now with all the advances in backcountry hardware, I'm thinking of revisiting the free-heel movement. I was an active SCUBA diver for a time, I've since let my certs lapse as life has steered me further away from the coast and my dive friends.

On the less intense side, cooking, dining out and traveling. I actually took a weekend job at Williams-Sonoma over a decade ago to build-up my kitchen tool assortment. Travel stimulate my food interests which in-turn inspires me at home.

Motorcycles,got between 300 and 400K miles on BMW motorcycles. And Skydiving. 722 jumps to date 7hours 36 minutes and 20 seconds of Freefall time. Sometimes an air bath is all ya need.

Antique freak here. I buy, sell, and collect a few antiques and collectibles. It's a nice side hustle, but I probably put in as many hours in a week as I do my regular JOB.
