Born in Detroit Michigan on June 21st, 1979. I grew up as an aimless dreamer, encouraged to follow my heart above all else. Driven to strive for success, I pursued a self-employed life, which took me through numerous ups and downs. From Detroit to Florida, Florida to Las Vegas and then Las Vegas to China. In China things got interesting. I found my passion for travel and video as well as my desire to explore.

Using the power of your own body and spirit is incredible. By cycling, you can harness the power within yourself to propel you around the world.
