How I got started

Got my first MTB in `92-ish, but didn`t get serious about off-road riding until circa `95. Started racing and riding DH at the end of Summer 2000 I think.

After helping to found the now defunct Gorgeous Don`s Racin` Team in 2002 and riding in a hot pink jersey for several years, I have finally found a home away from home with Keith and RPM.

This will be my first year with the RPM squad, but I feel like I`ve already been on the team for seasons. I`ve been riding, racing, pitting, camping, and hanging with Keith and the boys for a long time, as well as battling with Bryan Camp out on the track.

I`m thankful and excited about the upcoming season and the chance to ride with some of my close friends, and am currently working hard to gain the fitness and skills it will take to achieve my goals.

Goals for the Future

To be a little more serious about racing and riding without letting it take over my life. To podium in VetEx regionally in MX and finish in the top half of my class in DH. To travel as much as possible and keep my newly founded business afloat, and to stay healthy!

Music?

Music is the fuel that keeps me going! As a musician myself, tasty tunes are and essential part of the equation. Right now I`m digging: Supersuckers, Throw Rag, B.R.A.S.S.Y., Lagwagon, Johnny Socko, Fu Manchu, Lovage, Q.O.T.S.A., James Brown, Johnny Cash, At The Drive-In, Swollen Members, and whatever other old-school punk, funk, hip-hop, or metal gets the job done.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Who`s growing up around here?

2nd place Expert Men 30-34 at the 2004 Snowmass National, qualifying and finishing 3rd at Chalk Creek Stampede, being selected to join the RPM/Yeti squad for 2006.
