Sam taught Harley Davidson mechanic classes at Fairview College in Alberta, the only college offering such a course.

He has also competed in drag races across Western Canada and has the trophy shelf to prove it.

Ice racing? Yes, Sam has done that too. He took his students from a class at Fairview College to a motorcycle ice race in Alberta. Each student had the chance to compete riding a trail bike with studded tires on a frozen track. When they weren't riding, the students worked as the pit crew. Class was on a cold frozen lake that day.
