Character goes a long way, that’s what I think has created me to be who I am, character, personality, experiences, travel, life, those good and bad around me, I am who I am because of you, the people and things I surround myself with…
I’m just collecting signs, scars, memories and experiences that accumulate to my life, I have to say the one most important thing in my life is relationships, everybody contributes to each other, either negative or positive, you contribute….
Love it or leave it, or SEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all!
Thanks to all my friends and family who came out on the bike ride you KNOW who you are…. Be ready for a couple of awesome videos to come!
