What inspires you to compete?
My whole life my little brother has raced motocross. He`s very good. I`ve looked up him for a long time. Even though he`s younger than I am, he`s taught me alot about life, racing, and how to be a gol-darn goof ball. He fun, fast, and little crazy. I bought my bike in hopes of turning it into stunt bike. Never happened. Then I met a couple of guys who showed me the ropes of cornering, and to me that was the thrill of a life. Then it got way to fast, so I went to the track and had a good time. Plus my little brother comes out and tells me what I doing wrong, I go back and shave a half a second to second off my lap time. He`s my inspiration, Spencer, my whole family, girlfriend, and friends. They keep me going, making me want to drive harder and harder.
Some Personal Information About Me:
Well, where does a guy start? Back in 1998 I was in bad crash with my family on the way home from the motocross track. I came out the worse with a "Bilateral Hip Dislocation" (Both my hips were out of place) I had a long road of recovery being in a wheel chair and on crutches. Having to learn how to walk again. It was rough but what doesn`t kill you makes you stonger. I`m pretty laid back guy who just likes to have a good time. I love Texas Hold`em for some reason now and can`t get enough of it. My little brother got me started. I`m a huge family guy as well. They follow to the races and I work for my dad as a Diesel Mechanic. I don`t get angry very easily and in fact, very rarely at all. I moved to Illinois for school at 18 and pretty much been on my own ever since. Whith support from the family, of course. I love meeting new people and just relaxing. I live to ride and ride to live.
Why do you compete?
Why wouldn`t you should be the question. 160 mph down the front stretch at Brainerd is well worth it. My first ever weekend racing, I had a little guy, about 9 years or so, come up for an autograph. It`s for the competition, die hards, the fans, the same people who drive all that way just to cheer for you. The time with the family.It`s a blast and I wouldn`t trade for the world.
How's Life Treating You?
I couldn`t have asked for a better one to sum it all up.
