 I fell in love with trucking since 1999 after I took 4 week course and started trucking career as a trucker driver back in 2000.  I was born and bred in Colorado. Born in Denver and moved a few times but still ended up back to Colorado.  I have 5 beautiful kids. I love to go hiking, and snowboarding and ice climbing as much as time allows since I'm always on the road.  I'm very adventurous and outdoorsy type of a guy. Love explore Mother Nature up in the mountains. ATV is also another favorite thing to do with my friends.  I try to watch the Denver Broncos as much as possible since I'm a HUGE fan of em BRONCOS!!!  When I'm at home, and Broncos are playing, everyone usually come over my place and have BBQ and watch the game.

His position in Deaf Truckers United is Trustee. He helps oversee all of the treasure activities and makes sure the organization is well-oiled and runs smoothly.

He also wants to help DTU grow into a vital resource & outreach offering leadership & guidance for our future deaf truck drivers. During his spare time, he tries to take advantage of camping, and canoeing and going to some great truck shows that he cannot miss, but he can also get stuck preparing and restocking his truck for another round of trucking. He says, "Be safe and truck on!" 

Born and raised in Aurora, Illinois. My first experience that got me interested and hooked into Semi trucks was, when I was a little boy, our neighbor let me inside his semi and blow the air horn, and every time we go on vacation, whenever I see a semi truck, I always do the hand motion for the air horn to be blown. Now I’m doing the same whenever I see a young kid ask for hand motion for air horn, granting their wishes. In 2000, I succeeded to obtain my CDL from school in Indianapolis, Indiana. Then in 2001, moved to Tennessee with my wife and 4 children. First company I worked for was M.S. Carrier, which was later brought by Swift Company, for couple of months till I switch jobs to Autozone in 2003 to current. This past July 2017, I have had achieved and been rewarded for 1 million safety miles driving. In my free time, I like to ride on my motorcycle.

 Grew up in Wisconsin. Have trucking blood in my grandfather, who used to own 5 trucks as well, my half cousins, and also in my dad. While growing up, I often tagged along with my dad on his truck routes for 13 years and fell in love with trucking. When my dad passed away, the tag along ended, but didn’t end my dream to become an trucker. After I turned 21 years old, I tried to pass the hearing test but was unsuccessful. Still determined to fulfill my dream, 16 yrs later and an cochlear implant, I finally achieved my dream to become a trucker, now for 5+years, and do own my truck. Am happily married with 5 lovely children.
