Every Rider Starts Somewhere—Here’s My Story.
Let me share how my riding journey began—and why I do what I do today.


HI, I'MÂ COACH MIKE
I’m a Certified Off-Road Motorcycle Coach—but more than that, I’m someone who genuinely loves helping riders build real confidence off-road. Whether you’re brand new to the dirt or looking to sharpen your skills, my goal is to make the learning process clear, supportive, and seriously rewarding.

MY STORY
I didn’t grow up on motorcycles. I wasn’t racing dirt bikes at six or riding trails as a teenager. In fact, I didn’t own my first bike until my late 30s—a Harley Davidson Streetglide, built for comfort and cruising.
But after years of road riding, something inside me shifted. I craved more—more freedom, more exploration, more challenge.
That spark ignited during a motorcycle tour in Morocco. My wife and I were two-up on a BMW GS, riding from twisty mountain roads into the Sahara. The moment we hit deep sand, everything changed. I tipped over again and again. I felt clumsy and completely out of my depth.
And I loved it.
That trip cracked something open. I realized adventure riding was about so much more than horsepower or gear. It was about skill, mindset, and learning to stay calm when the terrain gets unpredictable.
So I went all in. I trained, studied, experimented, failed—and got better. Eventually, I became a Certified Off-road Instructor through Germany’s Enduro Action Team.
Now I help other riders skip the trial-and-error and build real confidence with a clear, step-by-step path.

WHY DO I COACH?
I coach because I remember exactly what it felt like to be a capable road rider who still felt lost off-road.
Adventure riding demands a unique skillset—but too many riders are left to figure it out alone. I created ADVMotoSkillZ to change that.
My goal is to simplify what feels complicated. To break down advanced techniques into clear, practical drills. And to create a space where riders of all backgrounds can learn without pressure, ego, or judgment.
I don’t just want you to ride better—I want you to feel better on the bike. More in control. More aware. More confident. That’s the transformation I live for.

MY VALUES
1. Confidence Over Ego
I believe in steady progress, not showing off. Every rider deserves to build skills without pressure or comparison.
2. Real-World Ready
I teach techniques that work on the terrain riders actually face—not just what looks good in a demo.
3. Meet Riders Where They Are
No matter your age, experience, or background—there’s a way forward. My job is to help you find it.
4. Learn With Purpose
Every drill, video, and course I create is designed to give you a clear “why,” not just a list of steps. Understanding is what leads to real skill.
5. Adventure is Earned
I believe the most rewarding rides come when you’ve trained for them—mentally, physically, and technically.
