This will be my 4th TOC and I have made so many memories and met so many new friends that it would be hard to say what my favorite memory would be. I still remember my first year in Boulder when a group of us went to the Avery brewery and had one of a kind beers that they didn't even sell. Scottsdale I hit the royal flush at the Indian Casino and we had a great time by the pool. Last year there was a cop convention at the hotel and we partied with the lady cops that worked prostitution stings. And it goes on... What is your connection to MS? It started with me riding for my friend Leigh in 2010, my sister was diagnosed in 2012, and then with all of the people I have met through the MS Society I have many connections. How did you raise $12,000 or more this year? If you build it they will come What are you most looking forward to on this TOC trip? I have never been to Utah, so I am very excited. If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? I already have superpowers so I can’t ask for another. What is the best food you’ve ever eaten? When we were in Scottsdale Me, Josh Wheat, and Stuart and Rachel Partridge went to this great restaurant and had this fantastic seafood tower. Last year in Colorado Springs a group of guys went to the Broadmoor and had steak and lobster. If you had an extra hour of free time a day, how would you use it? If I could figure out when it was happening, I might use it to get something done I have needed an extra hour of free time. Who is the first person you would tell when we find a cure for MS and why? I would tell my boss, his wife and my friend Leigh has been living with MS for almost 30 years and I would like them to live the rest of their lives without the daily struggles of MS.
