Personal History
Born May 11, 1968 in Lodi, CA. My father was a General Contractor and I worked the construction field until I left for the Army in 1988. I left the Army in 1992 after the Gulf War. Returned to the construction field for 9 months and then drove tractor trailer rigs for a few years. I then joined the Naval reserve and also started working for AMR (American Medical Response). From there I was hired by the BNSF Railway in 1999 and current.
I began Racing in 1996 aboard a 1995 YZ125. I raced the beginner class at Sacramento Raceway. I also raced Nitro R.C. cars on a dirt oval which introduced me to Dusty Lee who eventually had me driving one of his Open Outlaw Karts. Next it was on to Pavement Modified's for a year and then SCCA auto Cross for two years. This year I returned to MotoX with a 2010 YZ450F that has so far been one of the best racing machines I have gotten my hands on.
I am married and have 2 beautiful step daughters and 3 boys.
Riding Goals
This coming year my goal is to stay healthy, train often, race hard and clean and represent my sponsors.
I also plan on building stronger relationships with current sponsors and obtaining new sponsors as I enter my re-birth into the sport.
In short I want to race and have fun with my friends and make new friends along the way while showcasing products for companies I am sponsored by.
Competitive Highlights
2005 I started winning in the Outlaw Kart with several heat race wins 2 main events and 2 trophy dash wins.
2006 on July 22nd I did my first clean sweep, by setting fast time, winning the heat race, trophy dash and the main event in the Modified division. That year we finished second overall in points after wrecking the car second to the last race of the season. Overall it was a very good season.
2007-2008 I raced SCCA Auto Cross and finished second in points in 2008 with a 1996GT Mustang that I traded for the wrecked Modified. So far this year I have had two 3rd place finishes in 2 separate moto's and look forward to some wins and bumping up a class for next year.
