Outside of my work I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie and my go-to outlet for that is my motorcycles. Although I have been bungee jumping and want to give skydiving a try!
I also love to travel, which kind of goes hand in hand with my love for bikes and cars. I recently took a 3 month trip around Europe on my 1250GS and ended up coming back with a Czech girlfriend that I am now married to!
I'm also a bit of a tinkerer and like to build things. I converted a rusty old transit van into a camper van with full solar electric power and plumbing installed, then drove it around Europe, breaking down multiple times along the way... It's a long story!
