Motorcycle Riding
Endurance Motorcycling & Entrepreneurship A lifelong enthusiast of two-wheeled travel, I am driven by the discipline and 100% mental presence required to navigate the road. This passion for adventure and calculated risk-taking led me to found Exelerate Ventures, Inc. I thrive in high-pressure environments, evidenced by completing a 1,200 km endurance route within 24 hours alongside thousands of riders. For me, riding is the ultimate exercise in focus, stress management, and maintaining a clear perspective while in motion.
