1987 / Bought my first bike. When I went to college I bought my first motorcycle, a Kawasaki 454LTD for cheap transportation. My first time riding a road bike was on my way home from the dealer in traffic on the i405 freeway in Los Angeles.
1997 / California Superbike School at Laguna Seca. I crashed my motorcycle when someone pulled out in front of me, but thought I should have been able to avoid that car if I was a better rider. I had read that if you wanted to improve your skills, go to the race track. I signed up for the California Superbike School. At the start of the day, I was more concerned about not scratching my shinny red VFR then going fast but that changed once we got started. I had a blast and have been addicted to road racing ever since.
2003 / PSSR Track Day. I bought a SV650 and was already signed up for the OMRRA Novice School but thought it was a good idea to do at least one track day before the class. After my first track day, I passed the OMRRA Novice School and won the 2003 OMRRA Rookie of the Year Award. I’ve been racing ever since.
What are you planning for next season?
In 2009, I will be contesting all of the OMRRA Middleweight Superbike and 650 Twins GP classes as well as racing is other select events in CA, Ut and/or WA.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I jog with my dogs in the morning for 3.5 miles and stay active on the weekends. I don't have a set training schedule during the off season, but once I get a month or two away from my first race I will get into a weekly training schedule that includes running and weight training.
Goals for the Future
Win Championship
