Personal History
I am a mechanical engineer with a passion for anything with wheels or an engine. I started out doing autocross at 14 and eventually moved into wheel to wheel racing in Champcar, WRL, and AER. I bought my first dirt bike in 2022 after a coworker insisted I just "try out" his bike. I was instantly hooked and ended up getting a brand new 2022 KTM 350 EXC-F.
Riding Goals
I want to keep exploring the world on my dirt bike, challenging myself to longer, more difficult rides. Our group frequently rides at Carnegie SVRA as our local training area where we explore single track, hill climbs, and creek trails. I also enjoy influencing my coworkers and friends much like I was and convincing them to join the moto party. I plan on competing in the amateur hill climb class this year at the Carnegie hill climb event March 15th and April 5th.
Competitive Highlights
Every hour and mile put on the bike is an accomplishment. I made it to Costa Rica Unlimited in May of 2023 where we did a 3 day ride through the jungle. I did sections 1-3 of the CABDR South and sections 1-4 of the CABDR North last year. I will be completing sections 4-7 of the CABDR this April and will be completing the CABDR North in September. A bucket list trip this year or next will be a guided dirt bike tour in either Austria or Vietnam.
