How I got started

2002 was my first full year of racing motocross. When I was 16, I raced BMX quite a bit, and also did a little drag racing a few years back. I am also pretty active on some of the motocross message boards. I go by the name of Alphado.

Goals for the Future

In 2009 I plan on racing locally in the TV Land mX Series.   Due to the economy and gas prices we were forced to cut back on motocross a little.  We more than made up for that by racing BMX. 

Some Personal Information About Me:

I am a 40 year old male, I have been married for 13 years. My Wife and I had our first child in July of 2001 and had our second in September of 2004. I am currently employed as a Mold Designer and love my job. I love cars, motorcycles and just about anything with a motor. My favorite sports include Baseball, Hockey and of course Motocross.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I joined a local gym and work out daily.  Since January of 2008 I have lost close to 40 pounds.

How's Life Treating You?

Pretty darn good! I tried my luck at a little Moto Journalism this year and have become quite successful. I have been published numerous times in Cycle News, Transworld Motocross, Motoeast Magazine, Trackside Report, The Racing Paper. MiniMoto Magazine and in many on line websites. I also started my own website at www.alphado.net check it out.
