What inspires you to compete?
I have always just been a pleasure/ recreational rider on used bikes and when I returned from Iraq I bought my 1st brand new bike and wanted to start racing to help justify spending that much money on a bike.
Why do you like this sport?
I grew up with motorcycles. My mom and Dad rode trails and my Dad hillclimbed. Mom and Dad also rode Harley`s and owned a couple of Harley shops while I was growing up and I have always worked on and been involved with motorcycles in some way.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I do not train for motorcycle racing , but being in the Army for the last 15 years I stay in shape with the Army physical fitness program.
Music?
I listen mainly to punk music, blues, and rockabilly!
Employment / Experience Summary
Work experience is mainly in the Military. I was a combat medic for 10 years and then switched to radios/ communications for the last 5. My full time employment is for the state of Texas at a military truck rebuild program running the supply section and warehouse related work. I would love to break into working in some type of capacity in the dirtbike industry, wether it is as a mechanic or a Rep for some company or working at a shop or magazine.
