Personal History
In September of 2007 I decided I wanted to ride motorcycles. My Dad made a deal with me that I had to first meet two goals...learn how to ride a regular bike, and do chores for money to save for the motorcycle and he would match whatever I saved. That same day I started doing anything I could around the house to make money, and the following weekend I taught myself how to ride a bike in one day - I was off and running! I got my first bike, a Honda 50cc by the end of that month and started riding with some buddies on their track. Later that winter my friends started racing ArenaCross and after watching them in one race I wanted to too. After a couple of races we noticed that the only bikes that were winning in my class were KTM's, and though I loved my Honda I wanted to win!
Dad gave me another set of goals. If I wanted a KTM I had to start working again to save money, and I had to show him that I'd maxed out on my Honda. Within a month I had my KTM ProSR and again was off and running. This spring and summer I raced and/or practiced with my KTM ProSR whenever we didn't have baseball or football games. Whenever I have a free minute (not very often) and my folks ask me what I want to do, the first answer it always "I want to go riding". When we practice out at my friend's track I'm the first one on,and the last one off the track - I will ride all day long if my folks will let me.
I'm not the fastest kid on the track (YET!!) but I'm consistent, and when I set my mind to something I can accomplish anything! My favorite things to do are...

Competitive Highlights
Though I haven't placed any higher than 3rd in any of my races, I'm getter faster and improving my technique and form with each race. We've got some tough competition in the 50cc class, but that only makes me work harder!
