The Personal Side
I am am avid biker, runner and user experience professional. I have a 10 year old son, who is always right about everything, loves science, and lego star wars. I live near Detroit in the wonderful state of Michigan. By day I work on user experience and user interface design and development, by night I run with a running group, take the kid on adventures, travel to new cities, and explore new trails on the mountain bike.
I consider myself a fairly experienced mechanic and have replaced just about every part on a Jeep in my time. Motors, transmissions, axles, transfer cases, you name it, I’ve replaced it! Now I mostly tinker with bikes and motorcycles. I grew up riding and racing BMX bikes, upgraded to a motorcycle then finally into the auto phase, which lasted 20+ years(or maybe still is in progress). Hey if you are from Detroit, I guess it’s always in your blood.
Some cars I’ve owned included many, many Jeep TJs, XJs, YJs and CJ. Also I’ve owned a BMW 525i and an M3. Living and growing up in Michigan, I became a car guy and still love seeing the classics and get excited about the newest technology and innovation in the auto industry.
