Why did did you create TVMoto?
As a TV producer and an avid fan of motorcycle racing, I was very disappointed with the state of motorcycle programming…so I decided to start something small and build something big…making top shelf programs…telling good stories and building the TVmoto.com community. It seemed like a good way to combine a few passions. (motorcycles, travel and filmmaking)

What other projects are you working on?
Currently working on a Music video, a TVmoto half hour special for World Superbike (airing this June), an xmas tree special, an animated short film, Supermoto DVD series, a TVmoto travel show pilot, a Kids Motorcycle Training Video, nine more Passion.com commercials and the list goes on…busy busy busy…

What’s your favorite sports film?
“On Any Sunday”

How long have you lived in the Bay Area and Where?
