In addition to cycling over 300 miles a week, I enjoy playing the drums, working out, skydiving (657 jumps), riding motorcycles, collecting fighting knives, music listening. I'm a licensed amateur radio operator - K2PP. Actually, if I continued to list every hobby that has interested me, I would use up all of my alloted space.

I love everything but Hip Hop, and regularly attend Florida Symphony Orchestra performances. I love playing the drums which I do every day. I have a substantial audiophile sound system.

I read only non-fiction - there is just too much to know.

My proudest moment in sports was winning the first annual AMS GeezerJock Masters Athlete Comeback of the Year Award.

I was a pilot for Eastern Airlines for 25 delightful years. When they went bankrupt in 1991, I became the VP-Sales for SimCom International, a pilot training facility in Orlando. I came to cycling very late in life - age 64, but quickly determined that I had the genetics for it. I train virtually every day, and I am the current Florida State USCF time trial and road race champion, and the current Florida Senior Games 5K & 10K time trial champion. I also hold both Florida state time trial records (65-69 age group) which I broke in December of 2007 at the state championships. I love competing against elite cyclists. I feel privileged to even be able to cycle after breaking my neck (C1 cervical vertebrae) in an accident while competing in a time trial on October 30th, 2005. It has been quite a trip going from broken neck to broken records!!
