HELLO , I'M DANIEL TOLOMEI

Also known as DanDanTheFireman. After serving as a Firefighter/EMT-B for 11 years and witnessing numerous motorcycle accidents, I founded an online motorcycle academy. I was an MSF Rider Coach and Accident Scene Management Instructor for 2 years, and I am currently Stop The Bleed and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) certified. My goal is to share my education and knowledge with the wider motorcycle community through the courses at the MTC Rider Academy. Drawing on my extensive experience from observing thousands of motorcycle crashes and close calls, I developed a comprehensive training course that addresses the most common causes of accidents, providing effective solutions for riders.
