Tuesday Toolbox: Dominick StevensFebruary 9, 2021Glass half full? Glass half empty? 2020 wasn’t easy on the large majority of folks. Lives were turned upside down and whether you were a student in school or an adult in the work place your schedule and daily routine were likely affected. How each of us approached our “new normal” (Side-Note, who’s ready for “old normal”) depended heavily on self-motivation. This week’s Tuesday Toolbox features one of those young men who decided to look at things from the “glass half full” perspective. Everything from balancing school, competing and finishing the season 2nd in the College B (16-21) ATV Class, starting his own business at 17 and wrapping up the season with a jump into the College A (16-21) ATV Class. Here’s a glimpse into the life of a former GNCC Schoolboy Jr. Champion and business owner at 17, Dominick Stevens.

Tuesday Toolbox: Ben FricksFebruary 2, 2021This week’s featured rider, Ben Fricks, is one of those people. He’s “one of our own” as the phrase goes. A student, a worker and a rider.

We had a chance to catch up with Ben about how he balances an education, work-life and still manages to run a full season of GNCC.
