What inspires you to compete?
The competition and knowing I am one of the better offraod riders. I get inspired when the adversity of the daily grind drains on my time and effort. I then challenge myself to overcome.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
Riding to the start line at the WISP GNCC 2005 I thought it would be a good idea to practice braking in the grass... I dropped like a dummy. Many people were watching but no one laughed... At least until I got up and did the exact same thing again within 20 yards.
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I run 25 miles a week. I bicycle around the runs at least 40 to 60 miles per week. I also practise riding on Saturdays. I think for an amatuer I have a pro type regimen.
Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story?
Love the travel. I used to work for a large construction company and traveled all over the US. Then I married my wonderful wife and she flattened my tires... Nah, I love her and wanted to be with her.
Employment / Experience Summary
Most proud of my employment. I have a masters degree in Engineering and currently operate as the City Engineer for a small city. I manage a 20 million dollar budget with nearly 100 employees. Dirt bikes are definitely an outlet.
