Age:28
Started Riding: Spring of 2006 Senior year of HS
Favorite Rider: James Stewart of old/ The GOAT
Profession: Gas Corrosion Control Engineer
Current rides: 2005 KX125/Buying new this summer sometime.
Greatest accomplishment: My Family/My Job
Riding/ racing accomplishment: Winning a lot of races in my first year of riding. Nothing special just local stuff but to pick it up late in life and start winning very quickly makes me proud of the work I use to put it on a bike.
Misc: My wife tells me I have way to many hobbies but I don't. I own the stuff to have a lot of different hobbies but never get to use it. I guess the older guys were always right when they said stuff changes when you get married and have a family. But I wouldn't change it for the world.

Don't own a dirt bike currently because I get hurt too much on them to keep my day job. (I am not dangerous it just seems like something always happens)
Started riding at 5 on a ttr 90. At 8 I started racing a KTM 65. Last race bike I had was an 07 CR250f which was when I was 16. Stopped racing to finish public school and play stick and ball sports.
Best moto memory: watching James Stewart's final Loretta's. He was riding a 125 faster than I had ever seen anyone ever ride one and it hooked me forever.
Other non moto hobbies: deer and duck hunting. Crappie fishing. Stock car racing. Going snowboarding for vacation and hanging out at the lake during the summer months.

Misc: I raced district 5 from 2002 to 2008 and stopped due to a few bad crashes in a row. Was always just in it for fun and getting hurt wasn't appealing so quit before it was time to move from a 125 to a 250f. In the meantime I stayed involved in the sport through restoring bikes with my dad and still attended a few nationals. I've been talking with him about getting bikes again the last few years but I moved a few states away from work once college ended and havn't pulled the trigger. I also enjoy Mountain Biking, Skiing, Golfing, and Cars.

Misc: I grew up riding all the time with my family, we all raced for a period of time but financially it was difficult with 4 boys and my dad racing. I raced for a year in high school when I could foot the bill but wasn't able to pursue it any longer than that due to multiple injuries (Torn ACL, Separated shoulder, collapsed lung, broken back). We have a lot of single track enduro up here in Northern BC so all of the time I spend riding is on that. My Dad is mid 50's and he still gives all of us younger guys a run for our money in the trails.
