What inspires you to compete?
Have always been very competative. Football, Baseball, Basketball, Karate, Judo, Kickboxing, etc...
I have a natural desire to compete but I needed to find a sport I can be competative in at an older age.
Why do you like this sport?
I like this sport because it gives everyone a chance to compete at the level they are skilled at and also with people around the same age. It also gives people a chance to excel and become not only better riders but better people in general.
Describe your style...
Some people think I am a little off the edge and not quite there. I dont want to fit into the "norm". I have "Demons" painted on my helmet and I have a fascination with the darker side of things. You wouldn`t know it by looking at me only because my "job" demands it. I also have a unique, some say weird, riding style. Hard to explain but picture the oppsite of every way you`ve been tought. But it works for me.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I didn`t train for years. Had a bad car accident in 1994 that ruptured my right kidney and ended my Kickboxing "career". It left me to where I could not train for about 3 years. I just got lazy in that time. I am just starting to train again and try to reclaim the physical endurance I once had. I don`t really have much time to train between work, kids,wife and trying to get as much ride time as possible. I am trying to get up an hour early each morning to get a little training in.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up I want to be 21 again.
