Personal History
I am a Sophmore in Decatur Texas. I got interested in riding Motorcycles a few years ago when my Dad bought me a KX 85. I never raced it but learned how to ride pretty good. I started to here from everyone that I should race becauese I rode good. My Dad really didnt want me to race cause he didnt want to see me get hurt. After many discussions he finally gave in. In May of 2009 he put me on a Yamaha YZ 250F. I started training every week to get better. I developed a relationship with one of our local pros JC Chappell who has helped me understand the importance of corner speeds not just jumping and throwing big whips. I eat drink and sleep motocross and ride every week as many times as I can. I ride mostley at Oak Hill MX park in Decatur Texas. They have a main track where the Nationals are raced as well as a Super Cross Track, a tough Corner Track, and a new GNC Track. I have gotten to know Will Hahn and Tommy Hahn from riding there and these guys have helped me alot also. Tommy Hahn was the one that helped me win the Graham Areana Cross this year by helping me get through the knarley whoop section. It was the difference of winning or losing.
Riding Goals
I want to fininsh in the top 5 in all of the National races we attend.

I had this year in my first year of racing in the C class several first places, and manly top fives everywhere i go. I train almost everyday and ride bikes with a buddy of mine and im looking forward to getting some good overalls at the big nationals this year. My main goal is to win a title at loretta lynns but then again , who doesnt want to?
