Personal History
I started riding motorcycles 25 years ago. I started out by racing my buddies on the trails of upper Michigan. I raced in my first hare scramble in 2000. My family and I love it, we try to do one or two hare scrambles a year. We still ride the trails of Michigan every chance we get as a family. I tried Supermoto in 2006 and fell in love with the sport. The joy of going 80-100 mph on the pavement and making that fast transition to dirt can be summed up in one word, fantastic. There is no better feeling then blazing through a set of whoops or hitting a big dirt table top on slicks. I’m not the fastest guy out there but what I lack in speed I make up for in heart. I feel that my family and I promote the sport and are good for the sport. We are always willing to lend a hand to other riders in the pits by lending tools, parts, water, fuel or what ever it takes to help someone out so they can get out there and ride. We have also helped with track set up and tear down and are even the go to guys for minor first aid. I really enjoy the camaraderie we have built with the other riders and there families. My oldest daughter started riding Supermoto last year and my youngest plans to start in 2008. I have competed in a number of AMA amateur events and nasmoto events that have taken us through Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania. We ride a lot with the guys at MISUPERMOTO and plan to do all there events next year. I have no plans on turning pro at this stage of my life but feel that I can still be competitive and have fun doing it. In closing if you would like someone that will promote the sport of Supermoto and your local business I feel that I’m a good role model for old & young riders alike. I would like to thank you for this opportunity to share with you my hopes and goals for the 2008 season. I hope to hear from you soon.
