How I got started

I got started riding motorcycles about 10 years ago while stationed in Charleston SC. I would ride every chance I got. When I became staioned at McChord AFB, WA I started attending some of the local club events (WMRRA) as a spectator. Taste of racing at a WMRRA event was all it took. It was so exhilirating that I was officially hooked and became a track day junkie. I became interested in moving up to the WMRRA race level, and competed as a novice racer for 2006.

Goals for the Future

  My goals for 2008 are to have as much fun as possible while continuing to ride safely and progress in my learning and riding. I also want to continue to promote all of my sponsors to the best of my ability. I plan to spend as much time on the racetrack as possable (and the Air Force allows with todays committment to Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom) while contiously tuning my bike and riding as well gaining much needed race experience. I will be begining the 2008 race season with more experience and with the necessary equipment and support that it will take make 2008 a succesful second season in the expert classes of WMRRA/OMRRA and WERA.
