Back in the day, I was part of a rad group of bike-riding, cosplaying superheroes known as the Super Joy Riders. Our mission? To bring a little bit of happiness and tidiness to the streets of Orlando. We would hand out food to the homeless, pick up litter, scrub away graffiti, and even throw some love towards local heroes and businesses with our “cash mob” actions. And yep, you guessed it–my superhero alias was Stache Lightning.

Even though the Super Joy Riders have taken a temporary hiatus, the spirit of Stache Lightning lives on strong. I’m all about making my community a better place, and I truly believe that when people thrive and businesses succeed, it creates a more beautiful and joyful place to live. That’s why I was so pumped to be a part of creating the Super Joy Riders in the first place.
