How I got started

When I was 12 I started riding. My first ride was a 93 Yamaha Blaster. The riding I was doing was just open field and woods riding. Then My father saw potential, and bought a banshee for me. This is when I started to become competitive. I started to race this when I was 16 and just have fun out on the track. The banshee wasn?t all that reliable, but we kept it running.

Goals for the Future

Well I have been in the USMC for 2 yrs now. My days for racing have been halted, by my training and deployments. I have just gotten back from Iraq, where I have spent the past yr(05). My goal is to take the North Carolina State Championship, and be competitive in the District 29 season.

What inspires you to compete?

I have always loved to watch and race, from Nascar to drag racing. Watching Atv videos and competing makes me strive hard to be better.

Some Personal Information About Me:

My parents are divorced. The ATV I have, was build by myself and is well maintained. I grew up with a lot of good influences. My racing was encouraged through high school. Im currently 21, and very talented.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

Yes I do Train. 2 - 3 times a week I practice at the local track. I am a US Marine and with that comes discipline and commitment. With that being said, I also run or go to the Gym Monday - Friday. The weekends are focused on the races. Or just practicing on the track.

How's Life Treating You?

Currently I have been I Iraq for the past Yr. This past Yr, has really matured me in many ways. Simple things like grass and trees I am thankful for. Living in the sand for a Yr, really plays a rough roll on your life. Other than that my life is on track and my family supports me.
