How I got started

I bought my first sport bike (`04 GSXR 1000) in the summer of 2004. In the spring of 2005 I took it out for a NESBA track day for their two free sessions. I was instantly hooked, paid for the rest of the day, and my life was changed forever. I decided to buy a track bike and took the 2-Fast performance riding school on it the first time I rode it. I was dragging my knee by noon and passing people on the outside of corners by the end of the day. Someone asked me if I ever thought about racing so I began to think about it and here I am today.

Goals for the Future

My goals for 2008 are pretty simple.  I want to have fun again.  Last year wasn't very much fun.  I would like to win at least 1 championship in either WMRRA or OMRRA and get a top 5 plate in Washington.

Why do you compete?

I compete because I am an athlete. Ever since I could pick up a ball, I have been a player. I feel that once an athlete, always an athlete. I have never lost my competitive edge and don`t plan on doing so. Competition is what keeps me going and drives me to do greater things.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I am still trying to figure this out. I have an excellent career but don`t think it`s what I want to do always. I am still looking for something that I am extremely passionate about to go and do every day. Maybe I will become a motorcycle racer!
