Personal History
I started riding dirt bikes and 3-wheelers at the early age of 5. My grandparents had 100 acres in Illinois that we built trails on and we would ride sun up to sun down all summer. I started working for the local township road commissioner when I was 15. I wasn't licensed to drive so my parents bought me a Honda CB350 to get back and forth to work. Cruising the gravel country roads at 80 MPH was a blast and I can't believe I never laid her over.
I continued to ride through high school but when I moved to college the bikes and at this point quads took a back seat. Fast forward 20 years later.
I now live in Texas, married with 2 children and one day I woke up determined to get back into bikes and start racing hare scrambles. My first race is at the end of Oct. I now ride on a regular basis at Hidden Falls Adventure park. It has very technical single track that I ride to help my hone my skills for hare scrambles.
Riding Goals
One goal I have is to share my love of bikes so I started a Meet Up group about a month ago. We are just getting started but we have 17 members already.
Austin Area Dirt Bike Riding Meetup

My goals are to ride fast but in control. I have a family to support so I avoid big jumps these days. My goal is to get fast on the trails and hopefully that will translate to the race course.
Competitive Highlights
Stay tuned! We've only just begun !
FYI, Just bought the wife a bike so we are now starting a bike family too :)
