Personal History
Adam started racing when he was ten years old. He earned numerous local and regional titles over the years and in 2005 he turned Pro with his first national at Washougal. While he didn’t make it to the main, just knowing that he was riding at the top level with his parents as his main sponsor was impressive. That same year he went to glen Helen and made the main, taking 27th overall. In 2006 he went to Hangtown though he didn't qualify. He turned around and at Washougal ended up going 21-28 for 28th overall.
2007 was much more promising despite recovering from ACL surgery early in the season and at Hangtown Adam pulled 29th. He also attended the Thunder Valley and Washougal rounds and had some mechanical issues. Going into the 2008 Supercross season things weren’t looking good for Adam to keep racing but some last minute sponsors helped pull a few races together and he made his Supercross debut after missing the first two rounds but making up for it with several great races at Anaheim and eventually making his first Supercross main at San Fransisco with a finish of 21st overall. Adam is also a huge competitor when it comes to the various local series in the Northwest. The past few years he has won numerous races in the PAC West and PAC NW Series.
The 2008 outdoor season was one of the best seasons ever for Adam. He qualified for 3 Outdoor National main events finishing 26th at Glen Helen, 31st at Hangtown and 27th at Washougal. He also was a top finisher at the annual Top Gun team shoot-out with 4th place finishes in both the 250 and 450 Pro classes. His talent really showed under the lights at the P.I.R 42nd Anniversary Race where he competed in the Open Pro class and took 2nd overall against pros from all over the Northwest.
Going in to 2009 Adam wants to thank the following sponsors for the help getting him to where he is today: Beaverton Honda, Tiger Mart, Dailey’s Goodyear, Fusion Graphix, Wiseco, Leo Vince, Dunlop, EVO Suspension, Ogio, Pro-wheel, Works connection, PBI Sprockets, Hinson, Rockstar, and Cycra.
