Exploring the outdoors one trail at a time

I spend my weekends year-round riding off-road trails. In June 2022, I brought home my new Polaris RZR Pro R and have already logged over 8,000 miles, primarily on trail systems throughout Michigan. I've also explored the mountain trails of West Virginia, including the Outlaw and Hatfield McCoy trail system. My passion for off-roading began during a visit to West Virginia to see relatives, where I first experienced riding a side-by-side (SxS) vehicle. Since then, I've become hooked on the sport and have built an amazing community of fellow off-road enthusiasts.

Spending time on the trails has become my personal "therapy", helping me stay grounded amidst the fast pace of everyday life. After riding motorcycles for over three decades, I made the difficult decision to put away my helmet following the tragic loss of several friends in the summer of 2021. Fortunately, I had already become deeply involved in the SxS (side-by-side) community, allowing me to seamlessly transition my outdoor adventures to the trails.

In 2021, I started Throttle Off-Road as a trail guide service in and around St. Helen, Michigan. Unfortunately, obtaining the necessary permits to operate legally in the state proved challenging, leading to the difficult decision to shut down the guide service. However, my  love of adventure and passion for trail riding could not be extinguished. 

Leveraging over 30 years of experience in fundraising and event planning, I now offer personalized services as an adventure planner and off-road event consultant. My dedication to your satisfaction means I'll provide the services required to bring your simple trail ride to life or create an unforgettable off-road adventure. By focusing on the details, I'll save you time, energy, and money, allowing you to simply enjoy the experience.

I continue to share photos and videos of my personal explorations, with the goal of giving others a glimpse into the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of riding the trails in a side-by-side, or any off-road vehicle.
