Personal History
I have been riding since the age of 5 years old. My dad introduced me to the sport at a very young age and I instantly fell in love with it. Growing up, dad and I spent nearly every weekend riding and watching the pro races at home. To this day, motocross is still a priority and we try to ride as often as possible. Motocross is very important to me and it actually helped me decide on a career. I began designing motocross graphics when I was 15 years old for video games. I eventually decided to attend Valparaiso University and I received my Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. I recently became a motocross graphics designer for FAMmx Design and have produced many full custom graphics kits. My dad grew up racing with Mike Larocco and thanks to his racing career, we have established many invaluable connections within the sport.
Riding Goals
My goal is to always try and improve from weekend to weekend. I study my performance and make a plan for what I am going to achieve next time out. About 5 years ago, I was in a serious non motocross accident that left me pretty badly injured. I have since fully recovered and still love riding. As I mentioned briefly above, I am always trying to get better. If my cornering was terrible, my goal for next weekend is to focus heavily on my cornering. My main goal for this year is to work on my flow. I sometimes find myself pushing in some places and resting in others. I want to be able to find a consistent speed and string it all together for solid consistent laps.
Competitive Highlights
Being completely honest, my racing history is pretty minimal. However, I am at the track almost every weekend and thanks to my job, I make it a priority to get out and talk with the people around me.
