Personal History
My passion for motorcycles began at the young age of 5 when I received a 1991 Yamaha PW50 Y-Zinger for my birthday. This was the beginning of my lifelong passion for 2 wheels and racing. You could find me spending most of my younger years playing in the dirt until I was old enough to ride a street bike. After graduating high school, I couldn't think of a better way to make a living then racing my motorcycle. So I pursued my dreams and climbed through the Amateur Roadracing ranks until I obtained my AMA Professional Roadracing license in 2008. After 2 years of travelling across the country, I learned that it takes more than just sheer talent and results to be a successful racing privateer. It also requires business knowledge and marketing skills for yourself and your sponsors. With this in mind, I decided to study several business marketing classes while earning a Bachelors of Science Degree from the University of North Carolina in Engineering. This has enabled me to obtain a job in the heart of the racing industry as a Motorsports Engineer. My riding talents and engineering/business knowledge has granted me exclusive insider access to the most prestigious race teams and events around the world.
Riding Goals
Expectations are set high for the 2015 race season as I will be competing in the AMA Michigan State Motocross Championship and the CMRC Southwestern Ontario Motocross Championship. I will also be competing in the FIM North American Professional Supermoto Championship. The ultimate goal is to qualify for the Loretta Lynn Amateur National Motocross Championship. Along with race results, I am looking to develop long term partnerships with potential financial or product sponsors in a mutually beneficial agreement.
Competitive Highlights
Every time I throw a leg over my bike is a highlight, as I'm thankful for the ability to do what I love while reaching my goals. My highlights include obtaining my AMA Pro Roadracing license and racing in the AMA Pro Supersport Series . After making the transition from pavement to dirt, I've won a total of 5 Motocross races in 2015 racing in in the Great Lakes Motocross Series 25+ class. Representing my sponsors at big events such as the Edge of Summer MX and the RedBud Amateur National was a great highlight . The goals are set high for the 2016 race season and I plan on having many more highlights to share.
