Personal History
I am a Retired Navy Diver with 22 years of service. My daughter, son, and I are avid riders despite my limitations from military service. We have a 1 mile intermediate level MX track, 2 miles of trails, and a few endurocross obstacles on our property. We ride 2-3 times a week on our property and travel 2-5 times per month to ride at other facilities.
January 2025 sees the launch of a nonprofit founded by myself and another military veteran. Project Vet Impact will focus on Veterans and Civilians to aid in reintegration, networking, and camaraderie with MX as the common ground.
Riding Goals
Riding is Therapy! Few activities are able to mimic active military service requiring complete focus, physically demanding, and adrenaline driven experiences. MX does this and gives me goals to pursue such as staying fit and being competitive.
2025 sees my return to racing, after military related injuries, in a couple local series and several one off races and events for NY to SC.
My goals are podiums in the 40+ B and Warrior Classes, top 10 finishes in Open B and Open 2 Stroke. Moving to A class for 2026 is my end of year goal.
Competitive Highlights
I have 19 wins, 12 podiums, 24 top 10 finishes in events and races from 1996-2022 ranging in beginner, novice, and intermediate classes.
