Personal History
I've only been riding dirt bikes for just over a year. I started learning to ride in July 2012 and got my first bike, a 2006 YZ250F. I rode that for a year before stepping up to a 2007 YZ450F in the spring of 2013. A month ago, at the end of July, I bought a 2013 YZ450F and rode in my first race the next weekend. Riding motocross is something I've always wanted to do, but growing up in Southern Louisiana, football was my life. Two years after high school, I moved up to Alaska to chase the dream of living up here. I got a great job, got married, and began chasing the next dream of riding motocross.
Riding Goals
I live to ride, moto really is life. It's more of an obsession than a hobby. I spend nights after work at the track practicing and working to get better. I'd like to start being more competitive in my races. There aren't a lot of 450 riders in my area, and there are even less 450 novice riders, so I'd like to just practice and move up to 450 intermediate, expert, then pro class.
Competitive Highlights
In my first race, I placed first in the 450 novice class.
