"A New Orleans transplant, I took the long way here from SC by way of school in VA, and career moves to DC, NY, CA, and NC. I’ve always had a fascination with the natural world and its wonders.

I thought I had a strong travel/exploration drive until I met my wife who glows with an energy hard to keep up with. I enjoy seeking out hard to reach places frequented by few, and the chance encounters with others of like mind and determination. My penchant for calculated risks is mildly tolerated by my wife who prefers to keep it between the lines.

Somewhat ironically, as a working stiff, I consult on troubled infrastructure projects and other commercial deals gone off track.

After a 30 year hiatus I’ve been itching to get back on two wheels off-pavement. Finding an organization that serves up two-wheeled backcountry adventure with actual impact in conservation outcomes hit all the right spots. Excited to participate in and contribute to the Rally for Rangers movement."
