What inspires you to compete?
I have participated in competitive sports since I was 8 years old. The feeling I get when racing a motorcycle is by far the best feeling ever. I enjoy pushing myself and the bike to the limit. I would also say that racing a Buell for most of my short racing career has also been a great pleasure. The support I get from fans and the factory especially, is amazing. Racing motorcycles is my passion and everything I do in my day to day life involves racing.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Some Personal Information About Me:
My earliest motorcycle experience was on the back of my dad`s Harley Davidson when I was 4 years old. At age 7, I began riding motorcycles myself. I played football throughout High School and went on to play semi-pro football for a season. In 1997, I looked at buying a racebike but was unable to afford it. Finally in 2003 I started racing. For the past 8 years, I have had a career in Sales. I really enjoy racing and the atmosphere that surrounds it. Everybody is family at the track.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I ride a road bicycle as much as possible. It is great training for road racing. I have been doing about 20 miles a day on weekdays and longer runs of 50 miles or more on the weekends. It is very refreshing and something different than being in a gym. Its got 2 wheels and I love it. I am currently on a training program now that will put me in the best shape of my life for 2007.
