Personal History
Hello,
I race in Minnesota at AMA sanctioned events which are also run by the ARMCA. I started racing in 1996. in 2001 I was bumped up to the B class and have always done fairly well. in 2002 and 2003 I finished mostly in the top 3 in 125B and 16-24B. I joined the United States Navy in 2003. While in boot camp my parents got the letter that I'd been bumped up to the A class for 2004. Once out of boot camp and stationed in Washington State I entered a few races in 125A and I got a first and 2 thirds before shattering my ankle. The motocross scene in Washington State from what I could find wasn't run quite like MN in terms of a district and series to run other than small fairground races. With a deployment coming up I gave up motocross and got into superbikes. After losing 3 of my very best friends on street bikes I've given that up and am back to my roots.
2015 is my first year back racing and I intend to do a a few races but not an entire series. I live fairly close to Millville and a number of other District/AMA tracks that I'll be spending a lot of time at this summer. I feel fast and good on the bike. I intend on racing 250C and VetC fully intending on winning and moving up to the B class mid season. Any sponsorship help is much appreciated.
I'm also a Pilot, do have a supermoto bike, and am always on the scene.
Thanks for looking.

Riding Goals
I raced in competition and did my best during 1999-2003 before I joined the military. This is my first year back since 2003. I feel good on the bike and still have the speed. My goals are to not get hurt, Race a minimum of 10 races this summer.
I plan on starting off back in 250C and VetC which I fully expect to win. If I'm winning or even top 3 I'll move to the B class mid season and I feel I'm a top 5 guy there as well.
