Personal History
I'm a motocross enthusiast with over five years of experience in building custom motocross bikes for shows and build contests. My journey has not just been about creating bikes, but about crafting experiences. As the owner of a media production company, I blend creativity with mechanical expertise to bring unique visions to life.
Away from the workshop, I'm a dedicated parent to two unruly children. They keep me grounded and inspire me to pursue my passions with even greater fervor. My interests extend to staying ahead of the curve in technology, constantly learning and adapting to new advancements.
In my leisure time, I have a unique hobby of collecting discontinued two-stroke motorcycles. Each bike tells a story, and preserving these pieces of history is something I cherish deeply. And when it comes to travel, I prefer the road less traveled. Avoiding tourist traps, I seek authentic experiences that resonate with my love for adventure and exploration.
In essence, my life is a blend of innovation, family, and a relentless pursuit of passions. I believe in living life to the fullest, learning every day, and leaving a trail of inspiration along the way.
Riding Goals
My journey on two wheels has been exhilarating, from the adrenaline-fueled days of racing motocross in high school and college to my current aspirations. Today, I'm geared up for a new adventure: attending all the Off-Road Oregon Motorcycle Riders Association races. This new chapter is not just about competition, but about exploring uncharted terrains and embracing the thrill of off-road racing.
As I venture into these races, my goal is to not only challenge my limits but also to showcase the artistry of my work. Each event is an opportunity to display the raddest custom-built bikes in the pits. These machines are not just bikes; they're a testament to my journey in bike building, each one crafted with meticulous care and unparalleled creativity.
This journey is also a gateway to connect with like-minded enthusiasts and potential clients. By demonstrating my craftsmanship and innovative designs at these events, I aim to attract new clients for both bike builds and media projects. It's not just about building bikes; it's about building relationships and a community that shares a deep-rooted passion for motocross and off-road adventures.
**Riding Towards the Future**
In the end, my riding goals are more than just participating in races; they're about growing in this sport, expanding my business, and continuing to fuel my passion for motorcycle building and media production. It's a journey of personal growth, professional development, and community engagement, all while doing what I love the most – riding.
Competitive Highlights
I have been a finalist for the last two years in the Broke to Built dirtbike building contest. Bikes that have been featured in the contest are a Hawaiian themed CR125 and most recently a 2006 CRF450 that I converted into an electric motocrosser.
In 2023 my Hawaiian CR125 dubbed the Mai Tai 125 was displayed at The One Moto show in Portland Oregon and I hope to have another bike in the show in 2024.
