You might want to know who is behind all this and why. I dislike writing about myself, but I will give it a shot. I am your “average” family man with two fabulous girls and a wife. I have dedicated my working career to helping those less fortunate and breaking barriers around stigmas.
Working in public safety, I have been fortunate to be a hostage negotiator, travel the country teaching crisis management and de-escalation, and help set a new standard for interactions with people in crisis.
I found mental health affects all of us, from those on the streets to the highest professionals. I struggled with stress and the work-life balance. I am a brain injury survivor, which made me aware that I was already in an uphill battle with some of the stressors of life. This lead me to motorcycling.
Motorcycling has always been part of my adult life, but I use it as a hobby and getaway. I encourage everyone to have a hobby and something that they do just for themselves. Self-care is something we all know we need, but we don’t always do. Treat yourself and hold yourself to the same standards you do with your children or pets!
