About Me
If you know me, you know I love to drive. Growing up in the South Bay, driving was the only way to get anywhere worth going—road trips, parties, or catching up with old friends. That connection stuck. I’ve driven just about everything, from compact hatchbacks to high-performance cars. But the day I took an off-road vehicle into rugged terrain, everything changed. That freedom—to go farther, harder, beyond where the pavement ends—had me hooked. My Land Rover feels like an extension of who I am: capable, adventurous, and always ready to explore.
Favorite Trails
I’ve come across many unforgettable trails, but Last Chance Canyon holds a special place. It’s where I first met Adam and Jerry—before I even officially joined the club, back when it was still called SCLR. That run marked a turning point for me. I pushed my truck harder than I thought possible and came out on the other side with new confidence and new friends. If you ever get the chance to do that trail with us, you’ll get it—it’s something else.
Why I Love SCRC
Funny enough, I never planned on joining a club. But SCRC changed that. Everyone I’ve met here is just a solid human being—kind, smart, generous, and always ready to help. That’s rare. I’ve also found a real love for being a Trail Leader. Guiding people through rough terrain and tough challenges is not just exciting—it builds stories and bonds that last a lifetime. That’s what makes this club truly special.
