Training:
Mainly I try to ride as much as I can and take full advantage of of my college gym whenever my college schedule allows.
Goals:
My main goal has always been to just have fun blasting around on my motorcycle and leave the track feeling good. That being said, winning and doing good is fun! I always want to improve, as far as racing goes, and become a smarter, faster, rider. A person would be a liar if they were to say that having a chunk of plastic in hand doesn't put a bigger smile on their face at the end up the day.
How I startedMy father was into motocross before I was even born, so I've been around it for as long as I can remember, but didn’t really get into riding myself until about 2000. Before that I pretty much just rode a little bit here and there, and was mainly concerned with playing basketball. Eventually, however, the bug to ride and race bit, and it bit hard! I just started bugging for a bike one day, and my parents ended up surprising me with an older, 1990 RM125. After I had that bike for a year, and did a couple races, it helped my parents realized I really was into motocross, so they decided to make a deal with me at that point. The deal was, if I got a job (my first job) and paid half of the payment each month I could get a new bike. Since I really wanted a new bike, I took the deal and went out and got my first job as a dishwasher at a local restaurant. That next spring I had a new bike and began racing a little more consistently and the rest is history. Since then, I am now footing the bill for most of my racing expenses and probably have a much greater appreciation for the sport than a lot of riders my age do because of that.
Sponsor ValueI understand that there are more useful things I can do for my sponsors than just tossing a couple stickers on my bike and wearing a t-shirt. When a sponsor is supporting me I'm going to do all I can to become knowledgeable about the company and promote them the best I can on and, especially, off the track. On the race track you can always expect to see me having fun, trying hard as possible, and being sportsman like.
