Personal History
80cc Career
Starting racing motocross and desert in 1986. Two years later I was riding 80cc Pro Class and the Super Mini 105cc Pro Class. In 1988 I had the number 1 plate in the ADRA Desert Association and Arizona Motocross Association. Finished out my 80cc carreer with the number 1 plate. In the Super Mini 105cc class there were few of us that rode that class so they would let us race with the 125cc expert class. Won about 90% of those races and was ready to move to the 125cc pro class.
125cc Career
I only race the 125cc class for one year. I did very well and actually did placed top five at Ponca City, Mammoth Mountain, and various desert races.
250cc Career
The 250cc pro class is where I shined. In 1992, I won ALL ADRA Desert Races and was had the number 1 plate once again. I kept the number 1 plate for all of 1993 but then decided to head to College and get my BS degree in Industrial Engineering. 4.5 years later and I finally graduated from college. Once out of college, i started racing again in the 450cc Pro Desert Class and won my first event. One month later I entered the Whiplash 250 Mexico Baja and won that one too. Very exciting..
Currenty
I currently just ride statewide races. Many in the Open Pro or Vet Pro. I like to spend the majority of my riding helping kids. I feel its important that they have the right techniques and equipment to stay safe so their careers can be as enjoyable as mine. I have over 300 trophy's and 80% are top 2 places.
