Competed: 1984-2016

As a kid I loved witnessing King Kenny rail his TZ750 at the San Jose Mile. 1984 I bought an old video camera and began shooting video of San Jose and Sac Miles as well as other events in an 18-year stint with Motoworld. Add 17 more years of flying around the world shooting SnoX, SX/MX, ISDE, Dakar, EX, 10 years of X Games, MW2 and sprint cars…the list goes on. I was the guy you saw carrying the big camera around and I loved every minute of it.
