Personal History
27 years old, born and raised in western massachussetts where the riding comes far and few between. I come from a family of six Mother, Father, an older brother and also a younger brother and sister. Riding dirtbikes all started when i was 10 with my older brother and i after years and years of asking we finally ended up getting one. A PIECE OF S#!T jinseng cougar 100cc for christmas. aside from the bike always being broken i also had to share it with him but took advantage of my opportunity every chance i got. Living close to a sand pitt and electrical plant is where i ended up doing any riding, eventually police caught my brother on the bike and impounded it. That was it for the dirtbike. From age 11 i started working at the farm up the road from home, i saved money and eventually at age 12 convinced my father to get me a loan for a new dirtbike, a 2001 rm80 which i had a few years and then outgrew. at that time i was a little too small for a 125 but big for the 80 so i ended up buying a 2003 rm 85L(big wheel kit) that i rode until i outgrew. At this time the police were in full force chasing us out of everywhere that was rideable and it was about time to start looking for a vehicle so no more dirtbikes. Now here i am 12 years later getting back on a bike, bought a 2010 crf 450r from a buddy who picked up as a left over and 4 months later had to have the new 2013.. Score on my end, been riding with him since and has since then got me into the racing enviornment. 2 years into racing and im more hooked than i ever thought id be..aside from riding dirtbikes im a full time outdoorsman wether it be hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, snowboarding, riding my motorcycle or downhill mountain bike.
