Personal History
I rode 80`s as a kid for fun. While I was a professional snowboarder, a bunch of us got back into it and I was permantly hooked.

I have always been competitive. I enjoy the rush from battling it out with my friends or people that I don`t know. On the flip side when I don`t win it drives me to work harder and come back stronger.
I have always been an active kid. I did all the school sports growing up and one day just dumped them all (My mom freaked) and decided I was going to focus on Snowboarding. At that time I was in Washington so the snow was good. I turned pro at 15 and got to see the world and do things I never thought I would in my lifetime. A bunch of us decided to get back into motocross and I was hooked. I started racing for fun and loved it. I eventually retired and transitioned to doing a bit of stunt work and acting in LA. While there I got married to my wonderful wife but then needed a steady job. I ended up switching gears and landed at Rainbow Studios where I currently work on our mx series.
Riding Goals
My goals as always are to just go out, have a blast, meet new people, and bring home some trophies. I do fall into the "I have to work on Monday" crowd but I can't fight the competitive nature I grew up with. Racing 1 - 2 times a month is filling that void so far. I'm already off to a good start leading the new series.
Competitive Highlights
Well I'm currently leading the series that I am in. Its a long one though so hopefully I can stay on top. So far I have a 2nd overall and recently a 1st overall. I've been competive my whole life and previously as a snowboarder even competing in the Winter X Games.
