Personal History
I grew up riding in the Allegheny Mountains of northern Pennsylvania. I started racing harescrambles in 2018 in PA. I now race all over PA and NY in multiple series such as AWRCS, NYOA, ECEA, NEPG and small local events. I have expanded my racing into enduros and motocross to have more fun and help me improve my skills in more disciplines of racing. I am a husband and father of 3 girls. I've been a Federal Corrections Officer for 5 years and an Infantryman in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard for 13 years. I went on a combat deployment to Africa in 2024. I am back and ready to hit the ground running in 2025 with a new outlook on life from my experiences on my deployment to Africa. I am very outgoing and love chatting with new people at the races. I love helping people with gear and parts recommendations based on the experiences I've had.
Riding Goals
My goal is always to get better and have fun. I am going to Podium and win open B class races and move to A class. I will improve my riding skills by racing some motocross and be more fit than ever. I practice on the bike at least twice a week and off the bike 4 days in the gym. I love riding/racing because it gives me a challenge, goals to work toward and makes me a better person, husband and father. It keeps me humble, honest and working hard. This all teaches my girls to work hard and go for your dreams no matter your age or circumstances which is priceless to me.
Competitive Highlights
My competitive highlights include second overall at a small harescramble in NY. A third overall at local harescramble in PA. An ECEA win in Open B class at the Rattlesnake National Enduro. My favorite highlights come from the memories I've made with family and friends at the races. The early morning drives, family and friends cheering me in the pits, the crashes, the forgotten essential gear, racing vintage bikes just for fun, the pitbike mayhem, the post-race dinners and bench racing on the way home and the new friends made at the races. Racing is a beautiful thing.
