Geez, where to friggin start with this? Well pretty much immediately after high school I got into rock climbing and found that with my feather weight frame that was the ONE sport I was good at!!!! So from there I started competing and traveling all over the place. Too many places to list! I lived out of my van for a few years before settling in Colorado Springs for awhile. Shortly after thinking I wanted to settle I got the climbing/travel bug again, so off I went! I married Stephanie Butler(class of 92') in 96' divorced in 99'. Also started in the fire service in 96' During my single years after Stephanie I found another sport I was good at........Street Luge! I started racing and competing in 2000 to 2004. Streetluge took me to the X-games and Gravity Games in 2002,2003 and 2004. And during all this i managed the time to become a dive master. And work part time for a local scuba shop.

My daughter was born in 2005 and ever since I have tried to make the best choices concerning her. I am now a Captain with the City of Maricopa, long story how I actually wound up out here!!!!!! Now my hobbies consist of rock crawling in my jeep tj and riding my chopper around. And I cant wait till Maddi is old enough to ride it with me:)

Admist all the bad choices and mistakes I have made, I think everything turned out o.k.!

Well, I was short, skinny and got picked on alot!!!!!! Although I do remeber hangin out at Cowboys alot for teen night!
