Personal History
I am 40 years old and live in Gainesville, Texas. I am an elementary school teacher and I'm in my 13th year of education. I have raced cross country with TORN for the past 3 years and I've worked hard to improve my riding skills and finishes. I watch youtube videos to learn proper riding techniques as well as tips while racing. I try to apply what I have learned so I can use what I learn to help teach my 6 year old son to ride/race.
As a kid I rode dirt bikes for fun in the pasture and down country roads, but never competed in a race. Recently I have raced in motocross and arenacross events to not only gain that experience but to also see which format of racing I like the most.
Riding Goals
My goal is to continue to improve my riding/racing skills and knowledge so I can continue to train my son proper riding skills and help him improve his abilities. My goals for 2020 were to earn an overall top 5 in the Open Novice TORN season. I succeeded in reaching my goal and finished 4th overall, just a few points shy of 3rd overall. I also wanted to begin racing locally in arenacross and motocross events in which I have accomplished and really enjoy.
Additional 2021 goals:
TORN Open Novice Top 3 overall, podium in many events throughout the year in Cross Country, Motocross, and Arenacross.
