Personal History
I really like school, do well in school and have perfect attendance since about 6th grade and am now a Senior in High School. Excellent student!
Dedication to motocross: A few injuries such as broken wrist twice (scaphoid), dislocated ankle, and loss of spleen (spleenectomy) but have over-come and worked hard towards Championships, and wins!
I enjoy traveling to the races with my family and hanging out at the track with family and friends. It is important to me to always be a good sport, and race clean as well as honest.
*****Accomplished what I wanted to with motocross so moving on to Sprint car racing-- no need for any MX offers now as I retired from motocross going from 2 wheels to 4 wheels. Thanks for the GREAT support all these years but moving on. Thanks guys!
