Personal History
I am the average motocross guy. Like many, I was born into the sport. I was 4 years old the first time that my father put me on a Suzuki JR50 and I was immediately hooked. From that day forward, I watched 'Winners Take All' on repeat and traveled the weekend race circuit as an ammeter racer. I was fortunate to have a best friend that had the talent to compete on the national level in the B & A classes and he trusted me to be his mechanic while he competed around the country. Never having the guidance and resources necessary, I thought I had to grow up and pursued an education, career and family duties. Despite having the physical and exposure opportunities to explore other sources of adrenaline including surfing overhead waves in southern California, mountain biking, wake boarding, snowboarding and over 1,100 miles in 17 hours on my Harley, I have never been able to recreate what racing brings to my soul. In 2018, I returned to racing and managed to win the final round of the Pennsylvania State Championship in my second race in over 16-years. I cannot imagine ever being away from it again. On and off the track, I invest myself into instilling the values that I have gained from the racing community into my two stepsons; hard-work, determination, loyalty and full throttle investment into everything that you do is, to me, the true core of the motocross lifestyle.
Riding Goals
My main goals for riding and racing are to continue to do both for as long as possible. While working full-time and raising my two stepsons time is not easy to come by. My main goal for 2020 is to race at least twice a month and stay healthy.
