Personal History
My name is Anthony Charette
I have 24 years of experience as Motocross rider and currently ride at a Pro-am level. I started riding and racing at age 6 and earned my AMA Professional SX/MX license in 2005 at age 17.
For the past 10 years I have served in the USCG as a Search and Rescue Airmen, Aviation Electronics Technician on a H65 Dolphin helicopter. I am currently stationed in Atlantic City NJ where we fly both, Search and Rescue, as well as Rotary Wing Intercept missions for the air space surrounding our nations Capital.
I have never stopped riding Motocross and have maintained ownership of both 2 stork and 4 stroke motocross bikes. I currently ride a 2019 KX 450 and ride local tracks like NJ Motorsports Park.
My current goal for 2018 – 2019 is to expand upon my riding schedule to include national events such as Loretta Lynn’s AMA Motocross National in Open Pro and 30+ classes, Kawasaki Motocross Race of Champions, English Town NJ, Thor Winter Olympics (Mini O’s) Alachua FL and the local AMA District 6 series.
My desire is to promote the new Kawasaki KX450 flag ship motocross bike, while at the same time promoting the USCG to the next generation of young and exciting outdoors thrill seekers.
