Personal History
I am a veteran that enjoys riding and racing as much as possible. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, camping, mountain biking, kayaking, and riding dirt bikes in any way. MX, cross country, and enduros. If there is a way that I can throw on a helmet and bang bars, I am happy.
Riding Goals
Riding and racing is my therapy. It doesen't matter how stressful day to day life is, I just look foreward to clocking off on Friday and finding a place to ride. I want to be skilled in both MX and XC. I would really like to experience a GP styled race that has both of those disciplines tied together. I have raced XC for a couple years and would like to try my hand at some MX next year.
Competitive Highlights
I have podiumed once before (18th overall) and have managed to grab a 6th out of 30+ riders with my front brakes giving out mid-race, but what I am most proud of is getting knocked out at a fundraiser harescramble, getting back on my bike, and riding to the finish line on auto-pilot. I do not know how or why I crashed. All I remember is seeing my family at the pits and then suddenly I was at the finish line. I like to believe that shows my determination I have to complete a race.
