Q&A - Competition

How did you get started?

Riding in the back yard on a really old Ital jet 50.

List your competitive highlights:

Finishing 2nd in the 2009 IXCR cross country series. 3rd overall in the 2004 wildcat Wabash series. 8th at the 2008 Sparta Ky GNCC (broke my clutch lever and smashed my pipe almost closed on the first lap, and I hadn't even touched a bike in two years till the week before the race) 2nd place at the High point cross country mx, 15th place 2008 Iornman gncc, trashed motor in the race and it was barely running but I got 15 out of 40 and i had moved up a class not to bad considering the whole deal.

What are you planning for next season?

To run the entire GNCC or IXCR series, depending on my work schedule

Q&A - Personal

Describe your style...

My style is (W.O.T.) I am working on changing it but right now it's win or crash trying. It has had its benefits but also there have been major draw backs to it so I'm hoping to learn to think more when I race.

What inspires you to compete?

The love of riding and competition.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Yes I train anytime I'm not working, usually I will try to ride hard for at least 2 hrs per day, and sometimes my trainer and I will do 3 hrs in the morning eat lunch and then do another 3 hrs in the afternoon.

Why do you like this sport?

I really love any motor sport, and enjoy riding motocross but have decided after a few injuries and thinking about the money verses the time I get to ride for it that I would race GNCC. Now that I have been going to some this year after not getting to rode for 2 years (injured knees) that I will continue to practice motocross but race cross country only.

Employment / Experience Summary

I have done a lot of different jobs I've held at least one job since I was 12 years old, and a lot of the time I work at least 2 jobs. Right now I work at UPS at night, during the day I on a swing shift working as a tech for a CNC machining company (I make drive shafts and bearings, but if you rebuild your own bike or quad and you find a bearing with NTN stamped on it that's the company I work for) and my days off there I work for my neighbor as a motorcycle mechanic.
