Overture
In the hustle and bustle of Hollywood and the peaceful warmth of Guerrero, Mexico, my journey has been a thoughtful adventure. Growing up in Guerrero for 16 summers shaped who I am today. As a curious teenager exploring the edges of understanding, I dove into the mysterious world of self-discovery. Motorcycles have been more than just transportation for me; they've been a way to think and reflect. I started with the intense thrill of enduros and moved on to the rhythmic cadence of Harley Baggers, now cruising on the ‘21 Pan America Special.
During a trip to Cuba in 2013, I stumbled upon L.A.M.A., leading me to establish L.A.M.A. Los Angeles (LAMALA) and join L.A.M.A. Dallas in 2021. After riding through 45 countries, I'm gearing up for another 45 in the next year—covering 40,000 miles across five continents. With a daily budget of $100, I look forward to connecting with fellow bikers and L.A.M.A. members on this reflective journey. Fluent in English and Spanish, I also navigate bits of French, German, and Italian, adding a multilingual touch to my global exploration. Beyond the joy of riding, I find comfort in exploring word origins, unraveling historical stories, and capturing fleeting moments through my camera.
Crucially, my story is marked by the challenges of being a Disabled Combat Veteran. Shot on duty during my 20-year career, this setback has fueled my philosophical approach to life on the open road. In this dance between order and chaos, my motorcycle serves as a meditative instrument as I seek meaning in each revolution of the wheels.
