About the Author
People ask how I became a moto-journalist, often assuming it to be accidental employment and not a premeditated course of action. In my early twenties I was selling motorcycles at a mom & pop dealership on California’s central coast. The position gained me access to motorcycles I couldn’t otherwise afford, eventually resulting in a sales management position at a nearby dealership specializing in vintage bikes. Between selling, trading, exporting and completing all the paperwork associated with these activities, I read a lot of enthusiast magazines, newspapers, books, biographies, etc. At some point I realized I was reading more for the gratification of particular writers and their craft of story telling than gleaning any usable information for my sales job. It was while reading a biker magazine the idea of eking out a living as a moto- journalist was hatched. It was a career choice not manifested in remuneration, but rather a way of combining my knowledge and enjoyment of motorcycling with the creativity of writing. I began freelancing for a local sports magazine and returned to college invigorated with the goal of riding and writing professionally. In San Francisco I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism, cut my editorial teeth at a regional motorcycle magazine and introduced a motorcycle section to the San Francisco Examiner. From there I moved to Southern California to assume the Senior Editor position at Dealernews magazine, then off to Atlanta to be Editor of 2Wheel Tuner magazine, and now… ThrottleHand. The journey has been exciting, aggravating and rewarding, and has earned me friendships and developed business relationships which are oftentimes one in the same.
