I’m Daniel and I live in Lafayette with my wife, snuggly-motorcycle-riding 85lb dog, 4 cats, and 8 motorcycles. I have one kid at Purdue, one at Ball State, and one at UCF. I’ve been a professional educator in Indiana w/an active teaching license for nearly 3 decades and the state director of an accessibility non-profit organization for well over 1 decade. I earned my first motorcycle endorsement in Sydney, Australia in 1998 and have been a motorcycle enthusiast ever since! I adore all types of riding, maintenance, and all styles of motorcycles, including cross-country touring, dirtbike, trials-riding, roadcourse racing, and Adventure Bike! What I love most about coaching motorcyclists to be better & safer riders, is the natural camaraderie that forms amongst students and being able to experience riders leaving class on Sunday standing a bit more proudly, moving through space with a little more confidence, and feeling passionate and excited about new adventures in life, as a safer rider!
