Personal History
Personal Information: I am 30 years old. I began riding motorcycles at the age of four years old. I didn’t race much growing up because of finances, but I was able to ride in the desert my entire childhood. In 2003 at the age of 19 I joined the United States Marine Corps. I have been stationed in Okinawa Japan, Cleveland Ohio, Kingsbay Georgia and Camp Pendleton California where I am currently stationed. I have three deployments in support of Operation Enduring Freedom; Two to Zamboanga Philippines and one to the Helmand Province Afghanistan. I am a full time single father and have four children ages 12, 7, and twins that are 4.
Education: I graduated from Sultana High School located in Hesperia California in 2002. I have taken a few college classes during my time in the Marine Corps but just recently started pursuing my Lean Six Sigma Certifications, which focuses on project management to improve productivity, reduce waste, variation and defects.
Racing Background: I started riding at an early age. I would go to some of the local tracks like Glen Helen for practice days, but mostly rode in the desert behind our house growing up. I would only race occasionally because of finances. About a year ago I was able to start riding again and after a few months of getting back on a bike and practicing at some of the local tracks like Lake Elsinore, Perris , Milestone, and Glen Helen I felt I was ready to start racing again. Since then, I have raced about every weekend at some sort of event whether it was off road or motocross. I have been injury free since I have been on a 450 and have only broken two bones my entire life.
