How I got started

I started racing with my first bike ever, a XR 100, but quickly after a few races, I moved up to a CR 85 Expert. I had raced only a few races due to growing four inches after two broken legs, making me too big for my 85. I just worked in the summer doing concrete to help pay for a new bike. I now have and race a 2005 Yamaha YZ 250F. During my second race on the bike, I landed on another rider, causing no damage to him but left me with a broken arm. My arm required surgery which gave me a metal plate and six screws placed in my arm. I am now fully healed and have been practicing hard for upcoming series!!!

Goals for the Future

I intend on staying in the beginner class through half of the next year to get some wins and impressive series finishes to move up to novice.

Why do you like this sport?

I like this sport because it is a one man sport. If you make a mistake, the only person to blame is yourself. You dont have to rely on a team to help you out, it is all of yourself.

How's Life Treating You?

I recently moved to Northern California so my mom could be closer to my brother and my 4 year old nephew an 6 month old neice. I dont exactly like this whole move to a new school and everything but I have to just pull through and make the best of it.

My competitive highlights are coming back from two broken legs and getting a 2nd overall in the 85 12-16 Beginner class at Starwest in November 2004. I then raced the Adelanto Grand Prix in Febuary 2005, getting 15th out of 63 riders, while losing compression from the top end. The next race I competed in was at Starwest in April 2005. I achieved a 7th overall in the 85 12-16 Beginner class. My latest race I was in was in August 2005, at Racetown 395. I raced in 125 D on a brand new bike which i had only put two rides before my race in which i got a 15th overall finish. I have just finished my first complete series on my 250F. I achieved a 7th place overall finish for the CMC Honda Spring Classic Series in which I had a 3rd place finish in a round of the series and a 2nd place finish at the final round.
