As a long time powersports enthusiast, I left the supermarket industry after 18 years, and started a profession in an industry I am passionate about. Everything from Road racing (Club level), motocross, PWC, boating, vacations in the mountains, and MotoGP viewing around the world, my life is centered around the Powersports lifestyle. My wife and four boys enjoy spending time with me on our Waverunner and motorcycles, so the fun is ongoing. As a consumer and enthusiast of the products we represent, and twenty-two years of industry experience, I am confident Cycle Springs and I will provide you with outstanding customer service, and expert handling of all things Powersports. Stop in and say hello!

Adrenaline junky from birth. So, naturally I was attracted to anything that hauled ass and this dealership sold it all. I originally started coming to Cycle Springs / Team Savage powersports back in the 1990's for my GO-PED parts. Shortly after the GO-PED phase, I got my first Kawasaki KX dirt bike from Peggy Caruso. About 12 years later, still a speed demon. I became an avid Sportbike rider and kept spending so much of my hard earned money on new Kawasaki's and gear at Cycle Springs that I figured I'd join their staff and have them payroll deduct me for my addiction. Fast forwarding 15 years a lot has changed. I have naturally slowed down (becoming older, fatter, and a father), shifting my interest over to the Boat and Watercraft segment of the business. Back in 2012 I became the Watercraft Sales manager. I currently enjoy Boating, riding Moto, Cycling, Mountain Biking, Off-Roading, and spending time with my beautiful family. The best part is - now I get to relive all the fun and experiences this dealership offered me through my daughter, Hayley.

I have been around Powersports since I was a young boy. My Dad was a rider and introduced me to motorcycles and the joy they can bring to you. As much fun as racing motocross and dirt track was, I think my fondest memories were weekends spent trail riding with the entire family including my mom and sister. I even still ride to work today at age 61.
I started working in the industry in 2007 and love helping people find the right machine so they too can enjoy the sport I love so much. There is a special joy you can see in the faces of new riders and seasoned veterans alike when they throw their leg over that new bike, ATV or watercraft.
Cycle Springs has been a great venue to share my love of our sport and provide a great purchase experience for our customers in an atmosphere that feels like home.

I've been in the powersports business longer than many of our staff has been alive.
35 years as of 2020, and a motorcyclist since 1974
What's kept me going all these years?
It's the relationship I have with my customers--there's nothing like that new bike smile!
First and foremost, I believe in being a person you can trust; then listening and learning what's most important to you.
So if you're looking for a friend in the business--you've already got one...we just haven't met yet!

Powersports aren't just my job, they're my heartbeat! For 15 years, I've been living the dream in this industry, fueled by the roar of engines and the thrill of the open road (or trail!). When I'm not helping customers find the perfect ride, you'll catch me on two wheels myself, cruising on my trusty motorcycles. From Wyoming's majestic mountains to the roads of Texas and Georgia, I've chased dirt and waves on ATVs, side-by-sides, and jet skis – you name it, I've ridden it! Now, I'm stoked to be part of the Cyclesprings family, bringing my passion and experience to the Sunshine State. Every day is an adventure, and I can't wait to share that with you.

Being born and raised here two miles off the Dunedin Causeway, I can say that I've been riding WaveRunners since I could walk. It is an amazing feeling to be able to share this passion for Powersports with our amazing customers, staff, and community. I pride myself on being a one-stop-shop for our customers and matching them with machines to fit their needs so they can make fun life-long memories.
On the weekends you can catch me jumping waves on my Yamaha SuperJet or hanging out on beautiful Honeymoon Island. Come stop by The Springs to see what the fun is about and what makes us the #1 Powersports destination in the world!
