What inspires you to compete?

I enjoy making goals and working towards them. The results of competing is somewhat of a report card on how you are doing in accomplishing the goals you set out to do. I also enjoy meeting all the people at the races. You end up seeing the same faces at the races and develop new friendships. For 2007, I plan on racing at the Nationals at Mt. Snow VT, Sea Otter Classic, Downieville Classic, Penn Valley Classic, Nevada State Championships, California State Championship Series, Various races in Idaho, Colorado, Utah and Arizona.  My goal is to "one up" myself at next years nationals and hopefully take home the national championship this next season.

Schools Attended

I graduated from the University of California - Riverside in 1993 with a bachelors degree in Business Administration & Marketing.
