Personal History
I started riding when I was 12 years old and have been riding every chance I get ever since. My riding started improving when I hopped onto the 125 for Novice and Junior class in 1999. I won numerous District 16 and Northern Cup Championships. My two greatest accomplishments to date are qualifying for Lorette Lynns in 1999 and making the night show at Pontiac Supercross in 2002.
Also this next year I'm sponsoring Nate LaPorte, age 15. I gave him a Honda 250F to use this year and I'm looking forward to purchasing other motocross equipment for him.
Other than motocross and training I work full time at Sysco Foods of Barboo. Also this last year I married Trisha in July. My hobbies are building motocross/supercross style tracks and bmx bike ramps. I have a track at my house and I have two tracks at my parents house only 10 minutes away. Also at my house my brother and I have a bmx bike ramp off my back deck. The few things I do besides motocross are snowboard and mountain bike.
Riding Goals
I'm looking forward to racing some of the outdoor Nationals. Also I'm looking forward to running the Northern Cup Series in Wisconsin this year. I'm waiting until I turn 25 so that for the 2009 season I can try for Loretta Lynns in +25 class. I'm confident that I will do good in Wisconsin this year and plan on training all winter for the 2009 season. My goal is making the 2009 season my big season for Loretta Lynns.
