Welcome! Whether you ride or not, I hope you’ll be inspired by the content here – stories of motorcycle adventure through much of North America, thirty-seven European countries, African, and Asia interwoven with vivid descriptions of delicious food, curvy roads, and breathtaking natural wonders. Explore along with me as I make my way through Alaska up the Dalton Highway to the Arctic Ocean, battle death defying winds in Iceland, and voyage to Nord Kapp, Norway – the northern most point of Europe accessible by road. In addition to sharing humorous details about unexpected mishaps and personal encounters along the way, I describe my personal journey from a state of fear and hopelessness to one of confidence and strength.

Visit the “shop” tab to learn more about “Two-Wheeled Wind Therapy,” the memoir describing my first solo cross-country trip and how it helped me learn to experience joy and hope again after surviving throat cancer, a second divorce, and teaching through the pandemic. Traveling over 15,000 miles through 28 different states I began to see that my past may have shaped me but did not need to define me.

My second book, “Living at Full Throttle,” takes you along on some of my more hair-raising adventures as I learn to live more fully in the moment and identify as a person of strength and value.  I also share more about the role my faith played in helping me learn to face fears and overcome obstacles, including a troubling medical diagnosis I received right before leaving for Iceland.
