Personal History
I am a 20yr old student currently attending the University of South Florida, where I am a junior working on attaining a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences. I graduated from high school with Honors and a gpa of 4.1 in 2006. School is very much my future, but motocross will always be my passion!! I began riding at 5yrs old on an old school YELLOW yamaha pw50 and started racing about a year later. Beginning in 2003 though, immediately after getting off the 80s, I was out of the racing scene due to a string of injuries and an increased focus on my schooling. The start of 2007 brought me back into the sport I love and was my first full season on the big bikes. I have just recently(start of 09 season) advanced to the B classes after making it to Loretta Lynn's in 2008 and currently ride the Lites B stk/mod and 16-24 classes aboard my two 2008 yz 250f's. I'm very much looking forward to the new challenge and increased competition in the faster classes and aim to improve my results every time I hit the track. I am constantly striving to improve upon every aspect of my racing career through hard work, dedication, and lots of practice in order to be the best that I possibly can.

Competitive Highlights
The past year was awesome for me, actually one of the best in my career Id have to say. I posted alot of great results and definately surprised myself. Starting off 2008 I ended up finishing 2nd overall in the Winter AMs in the 250C class, which then led me to qualifiying for the regional in both my classes, Lites C stock/mod. At regionals I also qualified in both classes and even managed to win a moto in mod, it was in the mud right after the monsoon that occurred at Muddy Creek if anyone was there they know just how bad that track was! I qualified for my first ever trip to Loretta Lynns and it was a huge achievement for me, it was a such a good experience. Then just recently I won the overall in the 250C class for the Gold Cup Series before being advanced to B. So for me, the year was definately an overly positive one.
