Since 1990, I have designed training materials for public safety and public health.

My entry into rider education began with the Personal Watercraft Industry Association. Anyone familiar with that industry in the 1990s will recognize the parallels with the teen ebike use today.

In addition to rider education, I helped develop a boating law enforcement training program for the U. S. Coast Guard, a boating law guide to field-sobriety testing on the water. My illustration portfolio includes a Skipper’s Course, a AAA Driving Survival Guide, and numerous publications for community health education.

But bicycling has been my passion. With almost 40 years of urban bicycling experience, I have seen the incredible difference in safety and trip quality that happens when you learn the best practices of successful cycling. It started with applying what I learned as a motorcycle rider.

It has been my mission to empower individual bicyclists to ride with confidence. In 2009, Mighk Wilson and I created the CyclingSavvy course, a comprehensive toolkit for bicyclists to use on their own terms, to enhance their preferred style of riding. In 2017, we adapted our classroom curriculum to online learning. Since then, I’ve produced online courses for group riding and adult ebike use at cyclingsavvy.org.

I have always believed that education is the key to transforming our traffic culture into one which recognizes that roads are for all people, not just the ones driving cars. This spirit of cooperation will make our communities safer, more vibrant and livable.

The best way to get there is to focus on ensuring today’s bicyclists and tomorrow’s drivers understand the mission.

Bicycling has been a cornerstone of my life. I began using a bicycle for transportation in 1970 at age ten for my first paper route. (Not sure what a “paper route” is? Ask your grandfather.) I have used a bicycle to get to every job I’ve ever held, at least once or twice a week.

Bicycling is also how I’ve seen much of this country, cycling across the U.S. from north to south twice, from east to west once, and numerous other trips here and there. I’ve biked in 40 of the 50 states, and in many of the largest cities, such as New York, San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Houston, Portland, and St. Louis.

I’ve led rides for bike clubs, done a little bit of racing, and have done a lot of mountain biking. I met my wife while bicycling, and we often ride a tandem together.

I estimate that I’ve biked over 150,000 miles in my life, most of it on streets that most people think are “too dangerous” to bike on. I’ve yet to have a serious crash with a motor vehicle, so I guess I must be doing something right.

In 1993 I began working for a regional transportation planning agency. My job initially focused on teaching bike safety to elementary and middle school kids, and training elementary school physical education teachers to teach their own students. I also learned how to review and categorize police crash reports involving bicyclists and pedestrians hit by motor vehicles. I have reviewed over 15,000 such reports over the years. This information has given me excellent insight into how such crashes happen, and how bicyclists can play an important role in avoiding them.

Ebike Expert, Law Enforcement Bike Patrol Instructor

I am a CyclingSavvy Instructor Candidate and certified Cycling in Traffic Expert. After a rewarding 24-year career in law enforcement, which included serving with both the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Riverside Community College District Police, I retired in 2016. Despite relocating to Eagle, Idaho, in March 2024, I continue to serve as the District 8 (Inland Empire) Representative for the California Association of Bicycling Organizations.

During my tenure at RCCDPD, I dedicated many years to bike patrol. I was a CA POST-certified Bike Patrol Instructor for 29 years and have been an active member of the International Police Bike Association (IPMBA) since 1994, where I served as an instructor and member of the E-Bike Task Force.

I own two electric bicycles and use them to run errands, commute, race, teach, and patrol. I have had the honor to conduct ebike presentations for CyclingSavvy, IPMBA, local League bicycle clubs, CABDA Bicycle Expos, Western Riverside County (CA) law enforcement agencies, and the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).

In my retirement, I maintain an active role in promoting conventional and ebike safety, and bicycle patrol practices. I collaborate with both private organizations and public agencies, from the Automobile Club of Southern California (AAA) to public agencies like the California Highway Patrol, California Office of Traffic Safety, and the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training.

Additionally, I contribute articles on both conventional and electric bicycle topics to the Bicycle Retailer, CyclingSavvy, IPMBA, and Police1.com.
