Personal History
Hi, I'm Adam,
I've been a recreational motorsport enthusiast, in all areas of the industry (on and off-road) my entire life. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie but am finding the fine line between stupid and sensible calculated risks! I've recently picked up the hobby of filming most all important events in life with my GoPro Hero 9.
I previously rode beginner/novice Moto (Reads Racing) and Hare scrambles (District 15) when I was young. I've continued to ride recreationally in early adulthood but have now found the opportunity to balance work, family, and life and get back into a sport that I love, racing bikes. For training I ride mountain and road bikes (Specialized) as weather allows. I enjoy pushing equipment to its limit while evaluating the outcome to find opportunity for improvements or proof of concept to meet it's desired needs!
I'm 34, a gear-head by choice, Engineer by education, and have a broad background in many areas of Maintenance, Electrical, and Automation. I currently work full-time in the sales industry and am blessed to work part-time as a Wrestling Coach and Youth Pastor. I love continually learning and teaching kids to see truths about life, while empowering them to become productive and caring members of society!
My family enjoys riding moto or ATV's recreationally as well. When time allows, we really enjoy traveling and sightseeing. Traveling is generally all by driving to destinations. The past 2 years we've driven from Indiana to 80% of the National Parks in Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota. Glacier National is our favorite thus far!
