I started working at a fixit shop when I was 12 until the age of 19, and learned a broad background of electricity, metalworking, adhesives and composites, and a certain feeling for finding something in the junk pile out back and using it to make something work for which parts are not available.
I then moved to SF, where I worked at Kosman Specialties, where I helped build drag racing motorcycle frames.
Subsequently, I started a fabrication shop of my own where I did mostly architectural work, but continued to do automotive related projects occasionally, including engine swaps and a couple of electric vehicles.
I currently live in the country on a horse ranch, and have built a number of electric utility vehicles for use in ranch and farm applications.
I have always felt that sustainability was going to become critically important as we come to the end of the era of cheap energy.
Electricity has the possibility to be sustainably produced, and used with no pollution, so I am excited to be working on a project that will advance the general knowledge and acceptance of electric motorcycles!
