On LinkedIn, I’m a Bay Area startup operator who has founded a few businesses and currently resides in Mill Valley. Beneath that, I’m a lover of motorized machines and mechanisms. Off-road vehicles, sports cars, and the full spectrum of motorcycles have been my focus outside of “business hours,” gradually becoming my professional life.

More recently, I launched Route Motoring Club, a cooperative automotive garage that combined my passion for motorized thrills and hands-on work with what I’ve discovered to be my true calling. At my core, I have a deep need to bring people together and foster the energy that emerges when relationships are just one spark away and given the right conditions and support to flourish.

That’s where Marin Moto Ranch comes in. MMR is the evolution of my journey and my way to connect individuals and create a true sense of community—not the corporate or social-media kind of community, but the kind where friendships and connections are genuinely made, where people feel comfortable being themselves and expressing their passions. This is what makes communities strong at scale: small, repetitive circles of positive interactions that allow people to reflect positively on the place they currently call home.
