Welcome to The Dream Rider!

Welcome to the Website Gateway for Dream Rider, Carstens Communications, Black Lightning Press and more!

The Dream Rider concept was born when I first threw my leg over my very own motorcycle and began to dream of riding solo from Colorado to the Pacific Ocean. If you want to know more about that grand adventure, just click on "ORDER THE BOOK" and get your own copy of DREAM RIDER: Roadmap to an Adventurous Life. It's not just about motorcycling, it's about living a fully engaged life, remaining open to the possibility of adventure, and continuing to realize your dreams all along the way.

Some of what you will find on this site:

ORDER THE BOOK! Yes you can order it right this minute-you don't have to wait. Just click on the ORDER icon.

Follow the Roadmap within to reach for your own dreams!
