Personal History
I have been riding since the age of 5 and have ridden I number of different styles of events and locations. I am somewhat of a enthusiast of motorcycles, currently owning a variety of late model dirt bikes(5), Harleys(4), Atvs (4), and collectors bikes(3).
I am a Mechanical engineer by education and am a equipment manager by profession for a very successful construction company. I say this because I am known the be the "go to" guy for anything motorcycle related both on and off-road, and am very picky about using quality products and giving honest and productive feedback about the bike, gear, tools and tech.
I am primarily a recreational rider that on average will spend 6-10 days a month at a park doing some form of riding in the Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas area. I volunteer at events as an organizer along with a group of other part-time and ex-racers. I have a strong relationship with most all the KTM dealers in the DFW area as well as some of the Yamaha dealers.
I most recently have ventured into the dual sport scene as a group leader for the Redneck Ramble Dual Sport club. The last event had over 100 riders. My fiancé and I must have caught the bug because we have set up our honey moon to spend 14 days in Ecuador riding dual sport.
Riding Goals
To continue to ride in local enduros as well as continuing with volunteering work at local enduro races and motocross tracks. A goal is to get my girlfriend(who is an avid rider) to start participating in a few events to allow me spend a little more time racing.
Competitive Highlights
I recently finished riding with Graham Jarvis for 5 days in Muenster, Tx. Riding with someone of that skill level is an amazing experience. The skills that he has is amazing, and I was able to pick up a few skills and tricks for the "Master" of hard enduros.
