Rider Bio
I think I wanted to ride ever since I could walk but I didn't get to start till I was fifteen. I started on smaller dirt bikes at a two-month science camp in Pennsylvania that I got a scholarship to. When I got back home to California I attempted to persuade my Mom to buy me any motorcycle but I was denied my passion until I got a job and made some extra money at nineteen. That's when I bought my first bike, it was a 1979 Honda 400T. I loved that old bike and would rail it for hours, at that time I thought it was my race bike just because it was a motorcycle.
I earned my racing license with CCS at streets of willow late in 2003 when I was 24, this was my first race weekend too but I took the time to go to some track days and a few schools beforehand. Those track days were so influential in my decision to race, plus I learned so much from other racers and track day groupies. All you need to do is ask and most people at the racetrack are very cool and want to help out including myself. Through listening, watching, and taking action I did fairly well in my first and only year (so far) of racing. I will race as long as I have the ability to, what can I say I'm in love with motorcycles and racing.
Will and me were in more than a few races together in 2004 and we always got along. I appreciate the opportunity that Will and Shaina have presented me. I aim to do a great job and have a great time with everyone at the track!
