Personal History
I WAS USING HOOK-IT FOR MANY YEARS, BUT THIS RESUME PLATFORM SEEMS WAY BETTER FOR MOTOCROSS.
MY HOOK-IT RESUME IS HOOK IT RESUME
I HAVE BEEN RACING FOR 39 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN A PRO RIDER SINCE 1994, STILL AT IT AFTER OVER 35 YEARS. I MAY BE THE OLDEST GUY WITH A CURRENT PRO LICENSE!
MY WIFE HAD TWINS IN 2014, HAS MADE A TOTAL OF 4 KIDS NOW. KIDS HAVE TAKEN AWAY FROM RACING THE PAST FEW YEARS, NOW ALL 4 ARE RACING JUST ABOUT EVERY WEEKEND. NOT MUCH TIME FOR DAD TO RACE. 2 BOYS AND 2 GIRLS.
BROKE MY COLLARBONE BAD AT SOUTHWICK IN 2018, HAD TO HAVE IT PLATED, TOOK A LONG TIME TO HEAL CORRECTLY.
CURRENT SPONSORSHIP IS FOR MY 4 KIDS AND I NOW.
HIGHLIGHT OF MY CAREER IS GETTING 32ND AT THE GP IN FLORIDA IN 2017 AT 48.
Mini O's for my kids is a fun time. We sign up for 26 classes, qualify for 50% of the main events.
Tough on the Girls to qualify at Mini o's or Loretta Lynn's, but we have fun.
We have a super nice RV and take around 10 to 13 bikes to the races every week, usually race about 12 classes a week.
JUNE 2023. Kaleb broke his back and had a lacerated spleen and had be life flighted to the hospital....he is A-OK now.
THEN........................
UNFORTUNELY I broke my neck AGAIN this year in July just practicing at a local track and had to have rods and screws put in....Needless to say I am taking some time off to heal up correctly.

Riding Goals
The family and I have many goals for 2025. I have just bought another 350 ORANGE KTM. My family was lucky enough to get a ORANGE BRIGADE KTM ride for 2025. I'm really excited about the new bike. I already kick ass at the local races, but I want to have much better results AND if my kids make it to Loretta Lynn's, then I will go in the +45 and +50 class.
2025 I will have 2 boys on a KTM 85 and supermini and 2 girls on KTM 85's for the girls class and 1 boy in the 65 class, and 1 girl in the 65 class. AND ALL 4 on 85's.
Positive results at MINI O's is always Good.
