About yourself:
I am a 23 year old guy burning up in sunny Phoenix Arizona. I am
originally from Kansas and moved to Phoenix in 1994 after living in Douglas, AZ
for 3 years. I work in the Film and Television production industry and have been
involved with projects such as 20th Century Fox's "Anastasia" and currently, a
Children's Game Show called "That's Right! The Virtual Word Game for Kids."
I am a HUGE sports fan. I have been known to drive a few people
crazy during Nebraska Football games (GO BIG RED). I also enjoy hockey, video
games, the internet (of course), travelling, 4x4, offroading (I am always
looking for someone to go 4 wheeling with), dirt biking, movies, going out, etc.
Outdoor/Off-Road Experience:
I have been off-roading since I was 12 in some form or another.
My stepfather introduced me to it on our first trip from Kansas to Arizona. He
had 2 quads and we started exploring the areas of southern Arizona at that time.
He then got a Nissan Pathfinder and I learned to do a lot of my driving in that,
both on and off road.
I am currently becoming a member of the Phoenix 4 Wheelers and I
am going on runs at least twice a month to better gain knowledge of this fun and
exciting pastime. I am learning from others who have been doing this for many
years and trying to figure out how I should set up my vehicle from their
mistakes.
All of my experience has been here in the desert of Arizona, as
well as the forests near Flagstaff. I would like to make a few trips to other
places, but due to the nature of my work, I usually need to be pretty close to
home.
Vehicles Owned:
95 Dodge Ram 2500 V10 4x4 Minimal modifications include Rancho
RS9000 Shocks with remote control. BF Goodrich Radial All Terrain T/A's
285/75R16 on Mickey Thompson 16 x 8 Rims I have minimized the mods on it due to
the fact that it is also my daily driver.
81 KTM GS 250 Dirtbike I just got this as sort of a project bike
that needed some work. It was basically a gift due to the fact that it had been
sitting for awhile. Once I get it running I plan on riding it on the trails as
well. I figured it was a good bike to learn on because I spent next to no money
on it and I am learning how they work by having to take it apart and put it back
together again.
I am planning on purchasing an older CJ-7 or similar project
vehicle just for trail runs. I want to build it into an extreme rock crawler so
that I can better keep up with the other members in the club. I am feeling kind
of bad banging up my truck so much, so this vehicle is becoming more and more
necessary.
