Dean was an athlete and competitor. He was an All-American swimmer, Olympic competitor and the winner of many Championships as member of multiple National teams in biking, swimming and canoeing. He carried that athleticism into his career path as a coach (Go Water Devils!), rafting guide and eventually a stunt performer in TV and film, working with the likes of Chuck Norris, the Indiana Jones franchise, Spiderman and so many more.
In retirement, he never sat still and was on a mountain bike every chance he got. Known to the riders throughout the southern California mountain biking community as the Mayor of Tapia Canyon, they loved Dean for his passion for the sport and his generous, fun-loving nature. Dean would decorate the trails on holidays and was one of the originators of the annual Tapia Canyon Chili Ride which has been going strong for over a decade.
