Personal History
I am a Production Manager at a 145 Repair Station in Abilene Texas that does heavy maintenance on regional aircraft. I am married with 3 kids and a step daughter.I raced pretty heavy back in the 90s and into the 2000s before throttling back to focus on my career. 3 years ago I began riding heavy again until 4 days prior to my daughters birth, I had a bad crash and broke my collar bone. It took me 6 long months to finally heal. I got back on my bike right away trying to pick up where I left off.I ride every chance I get and tote my now 2 year old daughter with me as she just loves motorcycles. I enjoy mentoring the younger guys and am really excited to get my daughter started soon.
Riding Goals
My goals for 2014 were to lose weight and race again. In July I lined up on the gate in the veteran class at Spring Valley MX in Clyde Texas 50 pounds lighter. I placed 5th out of 14 in which I felt was a huge accomplishment. 2 weeks later i raced again at TNT raceway in Lubbock Texas taking 6th place out of 15.
I have been getting ready for a race at Spring Valley at the end of October.
Competitive Highlights
I raced frequently back in the 90s working my way up for 125 begginer thru 250 intermediate always finishing close to the front of the pack if not in the lead.
