Riding since 2017, his heart quickly fell in love with the Scrambler Ducati line of bikes and purchased his Desert Sled in March 2018 with the intention of off-road riding and motocamping off the beaten track.
The love of his bike moved him to create a YouTube channel (AZScrambler) to share his exploration and adventures with the community in hopes that others will appreciate these incredibly joyful machines and join-in on the fun. Loving the energy around the Ducati lifestyle led to quickly becoming an active member in the Phoenix area’s local DOC, partaking in most club rides, and attending Ducati events across the southwest region.
