Personal History
I've always been into motocross but never had a family to encourage it. At the age of 42 I got my 1st dirtbike, a 2006 Honda CRF250r in spring of 2020. Watched AJ Catanzaro, Tyler at the MX Factory and even Ryan Huges to learn technique and would practice very weekend in a field down from my house. I hit a few ORV parks that fall and again in spring of 2021. I hit my first motocross practice day, Independence day weekend in 2021. I wanted to practice the next weekend but there was only a race. I was encourage to get my AMA and D14 registrations and raced that weekend. I have raced a handful of times and LOVE IT! Currently I'm mainly working on skill set and will be racing more this season!
Riding Goals
I have made good improvements over the last 1.5yrs to increase my physical fitness, skills set and mindset when it comes to motocross. I would like to be able to potentially get podium in Open-D, finish in the top half of any Open-C and Vet Sport Races this year or better. I plan on continually increasing my abilities with each practice and race I enter to earn a ticket to race at a Lorretta's Lynns Ranch one day. Sounds like a big goal but I have the mindset, the love and passion for the sport that will help me achieve this goal. My children are now starting to come to the track with me on practice days and I would love to be able to encourage the same outcome for them as well.
This year I would like to take a professional motocross training class to further increase my skillset.
I have accepted a few sponsorships already but am still looking for more to boost my ability to attend more races and practices throughout the year!
I do record all of my riding and post it, along with repairs of other machine I do in the winter and riding through the spring through fall months. So any sponsorship will be visible there along with being made apart of my Bike Decal kit.

Competitive Highlights
My first ever race was not the prettiest. I didn't finish last though in any of the races. IIRC my first race was Open-D and there were 28 riders. I finished 20th. In Vet Sport there were 20 Riders and I finished 16th on that same day.
My race results during the 2022 season, even after blowing out my left knee (fully recovered without surgery) I managed to secure regular position in Open-D races in the top 25% of the group in any given race. Vet Sport was in the top 50% of the group. So with my continued improvements on strength and longevity that I've implement over the winter months and regular weekly practice at different tracks through the lower half of the LP in Michigan I except to continue to improve my skill, speed and stamina on the track and be a very competitive up and coming racer with the support of the right sponsorship!
I thank you for your consideration!
