How I got started

I grew up around motocross, traveling to races all over New England to watch my Dad. I raced for like a year when I was 18 and did not do so well. I could not afford to race motocross or even own a bike so I did things I could afford like run and race bicycles. Later on in my 20`s I started doing Triathlons with great results all over New England, finishing as high as 7th over all a few times and winning my age group a lot. So the winter of 03/04 I built a new triathlon bike that wound up costing around 4000.00. At that time I thought this is crazy I could have bought a motocross bike . So I sold it right away and went to the sport I always loved and wanted so bad to do.

Goals for the Future

To keep getting beter and always be at the front of the pack

What inspires you to compete?

Seeing yourself get better than people that have beat you.

What has been your most embarrassing moment?

Walking into a glass wall in Jr. High with the class in line for food on a feild trip. Not one kid missed that one and my best friend still brings it up today.

Why do you like this sport?

You can go as far as your dreams can take you. Also it really is something the family can do together.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I started motocross in better shape than most from triathlons. Now I ride twice a week and do intense cardio everyday keeping my heart rate high to simulate moto conditions.

Why do you compete?

I think it makes me a better person. If I am doing anything I try to get better at it.

Moving to the B class after a short time and being on the gate with John Dowd few times in the 30 a/b class
