Fire Academy

I am very grateful to my wife and children for allowing me to indulge myself in my boyhood dreams and interests. What started as a preparedness exercise has become an outlet for boyish excitement and fun.

I have been enrolled in the RCA (Recruit Candidate Academy) Fire Academy at UVU. It is taught through the department of Homeland Security. I knew that the academy was structured as a para-military environment, but I didn't realize how difficult it would be to prepare for. I have enjoyed the challenging environment and the competition that others 10 years younger provide.

Motorsporting family

Heather and I started taking Brigham to races when he was one. He Saw Nicky Hayden win his first Moto GP race on his home track of Laguna Seca. Ever since we have taken every available opportunity to get racing in his blood. Lincoln Watkins, our friend from Alpine has helped make that dream become more of a reality. Lincoln, surprised Brigham and had a custom, race go cart fashioned for him. Here we are out at Miller Motor Sports Park for his first test run. It was here that he realized that the cart was his. Fun day and proud day for dear old dad. Mommy and Nelly were excited too.

Hobby, Love or Passion?

I consider Motorcycling to be a hobby, but some would argue that it is more than that for me. I remember early on in childhood, wanting and wishing for a bike. Not one that didn't make any noise or only went as fast as you could peddle, no, I wanted one with a motor that made noise and went fast.
With a Father who made his career out of giving tickets to people who go fast, the idea of me having a motorcycle was merely a dream that I would have to wait to realize. I am now on my sixth bike. I did respect my parents wishes and waited until I was out of the house to own one.
I am currently riding a Honda VFR Interceptor. It is now ranked as my favorite bike that I have owned or ridden. A great all around scooter. I will highlight on my blog some trips and rides that I have been on and will highlight some future trips as well. If you ride drop me a note.
