Fast forward 25 years... I have been working as an IT Program Manager for 20+years in San Diego. I am a devoted father, and enjoy adventures with my girls!

In 2023 I recognized the need for a professionally structured program that will provide younger mountain bike athletes with a path to reach their MTB career goals. LRSD Corp was born...
