A Colorado native Troy started riding in the 70's on a Honda MR50 (3-speed with a clutch) and learned to trail ride on a family ranch outside Cripple Creek, CO. The motorcycle bug stuck with him until he switched from motocross to jetski racing in the late 80's. Troy jumped back into the motorcycles in the early 2000's and has been on a roll ever since.

After honing his skills off road on a dirt bike, he moved up to adventure bikes. He's logged thousands of miles off road in Baja, Colorado, New Mexico and Moab and is known to have an obsession for all things motorcycle. Troy currently rides a Yamaha Tenere 700 and a Honda 450x.
