Rider Bio
I started riding after meeting Dave Randall at Junior High School. His father Larry owned West Bay Cycle in Palo Alto, Ca.
They took me dirt bike riding at Lake Elsenor. From there on I was hooked! Though my parents said they would throw me out of the house if I ever came home with one, they didn't! I have owned over 20 motorcycles since.
I have been riding motorcycles for 24 years. I started racing motocross in 1987-1992. In 125's I earned the #8 plate in Nor Cali. I was also racing for a factory Jetski company; RandE Racing. I took 10th at the World Finals in 1992 and 2nd over all it the state of CA.
For street and track use I'm riding a Ducati 999s and an Aprilia RS-250 Motoguzzi V-11 Bassa. For the dirt, YZ125, KTM 125 SX, YZF-250 and of course a Red Barron XR-50.
Photos and Mini DV have been my hobbies for 15 years. I have expanded to full professional equipment as well as video. My friend Mike Chen and I are dedicated to offering you the best shoots these upcoming trackdays have to offer. Take it from us, fellow racers and riders; we will get the best shots!
