Personal History
I have lived, worked and ridden mortorcyle in Rock Springs Wy, my whole life. I have always been athletic and in high school I was one of the best long distance runners in the state of Wyoming. After high school I went to work in the oil & gas fields here in south western Wyoming. Thru out my 20's I successfully raced locally, and regionally in Motocross and Arenacross series. I currently work as a Lease Operator for a large natural gas Producer. I own a home in Rock Springs, love fishing, hunting, camping, and of course riding motorcycles in the form of Professional Hill Climbing. I have been riding motorcycles for 20 years, racing them for 15, and Professionally climbing for 5. Thanks for taking your time to read about me!
Riding Goals
My goal over the last 5 years has been to get into and be competitive in the sport of Professional Hillclimbing. I have done this by building one climbing bike at a time. Starting with a YZ450F, then a CR500 on NOS , and most recently having a Suziki GSX-R 1000 custom built into a highly competitive Open Pro bike. Having a competitive fleet of bikes I have now turned my sights towards Top 5 finishes at all the events I attend.
I no longer have my CR500 for the 451-700 class. I loved the bike and climbed well on it, but it was time for something more competitive. I am mostly done building my new bike to replace the 500. It is a 2013 YZ450F that is bored to 470cc with a GYTR CNC ported and polished head, and GYTR Cams. Adding a 20hp shot of Cold Fusion Nitrous is all that I have left to do before the season is fully underway in March!
