Personal History
For so many years, I watched people ride, heard the motors in the hills behind my house and listened to all the great stories that people had to tell of their riding days. I was always so envious. Finally, at 17 I took my first riding trip to the sand dunes, at Little Sahara. I became addicted from there! I spent so much of my time out riding anywhere that I was able to. Most of which was done at the dunes. The fire was lit and it was what I began to care so much about.
Finally, four years later I got my first dirt bike! That's when my passion and love for it all truly began. Although most of my riding was spent off the track, I spent a lot of time at races. The community and family that I became a part of drove my heart even more for the life! Not too long after, I was made part of a non-profit organization - Type1Racing. A motocross based outreach program that is dedicated to raising awareness for diabetes through our passion for dirt bikes! Each year we put on a race, to raise funds for the JDRF and bring our community of riders together. Since I have become apart of that, I now am on the board as Rider Support. Encouraging our athletes and always looking for donations to help with whatever can be done. It keeps me involved with all the aspects that I love.
Free riding is where I find my center and the greatest joy in the industry, but I have always been passionate about all parts. Whether I be watching motocross, supercross, freestyle, etc., tagging along to watch friends, or enjoying a good conversation about it, I am beyond content. Lastly I have found a huge passion in capturing all these great moments - a picture can speak a thousand words. The moments of thought, the "sick air bro" moments that are caught, or just the day end gear and bikes that show just what the day gave us. The beauty of the sport I have grown to love, with only 11 years and many more to go. I would love to do so, while sporting and supporting the brands I know and have grown to love!
Riding Goals
Just as we all do, I want to excel even more in the industry. Through so many changes in life, this love, passion and sport has always been the same for me. I want to travel more, attend even more races and support fellow risers more. Being more involves and learning along the way is my ultimate goal.
My passion is already a lifestyle! Getting a new bike, finally reaching my goals has lit a fire to learn what I don't know and push to be what I know I can be. The future is bright and saying I am excited, is an understatement.
