      .... .... I'm making a reality series and posting it here on my videos. It's about the preparing to go skate the Trans-USA skate again. Follow me on my journey! I love adrenalin! I love going fast and finding the edge that blurs relative safety with the jaw dropping insanity that comes from speeding on a pair skates. I find happiness in finding the terminal limit to the amount of physical stress I can push myself through. I won't be spoon fed the propoganda that is floating around the world. I can think for myself and I'll choose the moral soapbox that I yell from on the corner of Main Street USA. I think if you can knock me down, then you sure as heck can try. I think that if you get caught messing up, then you should be put in check. I don't think that it's important whether or not we all pray to they same god in the same way...... believe in something. It makes you a better person. We need better people in this world. I obviously love to skate. I have lots of other interests. Who doesn't? But I live and breathe skating. I go off in my own thoughts sometimes. My wife says that she knows that I am off skating somewhere. I love to cook. There's nothing that I can't cook with a recipe. We try new things all the time to eat. You have to appreciate the internet for that. My wife and I do love our aquariums. We have thousands of fish. We raise killifish, shrimp and snails.

    • Music

      I listen to everything. I love good music. There is so much good music in the world to try to narrow it down to anyone style or musician. Go outside and listen. There is music everyewhere....

    • Movies

      I have to admit that it is a rare occasion to go to a movie. I tend to get DVD's. I like to be home.

    • Television

      Yes, I admit it, I watch TV. I'm not home enough to have any favorite shows. I have such a busy life between work, training, and spending the quality time with my wife that she deserves. My wife tends to pick the shows that we watch. I pretty much missed television while I was out there skating. I missed playing video games.

    • Books

      I read everything that I can get my grubby little hands on.

    • Heroes

      My heroes: My wife. Coach, Coachette and The Texas Flyers. Debbie Rice. Glenn Koshi. The US Speedskating Team. Jonathan Seutter. Jim Larson. My parents. Everyone who donated to this skate. Any and all skaters... thanks for sharing the passion!

    About me:

    Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket..I love these skates! Aren't they gorgeous! Don't they just ooze speed! Bont gave me a pair to skate cross-country in. I left from Crescent Beach FL and ended at Atlantic Beach I called it "The Long Skate" I am also sponsored by Ezeefit, Clifbar, and UNLTDSK8SUPPLY. Thank you for the product support. Your help has made this so much easier. I couldn't have done this without you. I work hard. I play hard. I don't expect anyone to be other than who they are. I've learned to live by a code that makes sense to me. I speed skate with the Texas Flyers Inline Racing Team. I have only been racing since 2005, but I have been skating inline for at least 13 years and rollerskating since I was a kid. I am also the 2006 North American Inline Marathon Series Advanced Male Division Champion. I skated my first official pro race in 2007 and set a world record in 2008. That's an amazing timeline! I love to skate fast! Life isn't easy, and it hasn't been. You earn every mile that you live. Make sure that you live every mile. I am now retired from work. Life threw me a couple of curve balls, but, I always land on my feet. Seems like I landed pretty well. I can count my blessings and know that there are people out there who believe in me and my dreams. Now, I can focus on the rest of my dreams. If you had the time to focus on your dreams, what would you do?

    Who I'd like to meet:

    I'd like to meet a brick wall doing about 80mph in a downhill. I'd like to meet someone who hasn't secretly been being fed Soylent Green by the proletariate. Yeah, I mean you and me. We stifle ourselves and blame the wealthy. We are in charge of our destiny. We decide what we are spoon fed. And if you understand, I'd like to meet you. I choose to believe in who I am, not who I could have been! And because of that, I'd like to meet every speed skater that there is. Speed speaks a single unifying language. You go as fast as can, as far as you can. Blood, sweat and tears are a bond that goes above communication. You leave eveything you have on the track. You leave nothing for the walk home. And the guy you're competing against believes in the very same thing.
