An adventurous man with a great sense of humor and self, who cares for his community, is outspoken, honest, and kind.

More than anything, the Hot Hunk deal has been a lot of fun and everyone competing has been great to each other. The experience is fun and speaks to the bike rally itself. Unity and fun for everyone who attends. The Buffalo Chip has been around for a long time, and my dad has shared stories of him attending the Chip events when he was younger. I feel fortunate that I grew up riding motorcycles and was always a way for my dad, brother and I to bond and share experiences.
