Have owned over 40 bikes and still love moto. Couldn't wait to go racing every Sunday when I was a kid into my teens and every time I kick over a bike it brings back those memories. Have great memories into my 30's and 40's with my buddies racing age classes and travelling to race.

Favorite Music: Music is really important to me. I could go without television, honestly. I would prefer to jam out. My favorite bands include Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Dave Matthews Band, Matchbox Twenty, System of a Down, and any/all Country music.I cover a broad spectrum in terms of genres lol.
Favorite Movie: No Country for Old Men
Misc: Motocross has been an central part of my life for as long as I can remember. Even before I got my first bike and took interest in actually riding at age 10, I would watch races constantly and re-watch classic moto videos like Fox Racing Greatest Hits, Terrafirma, The Great Outdoors, and all the Pastrana vids. Never felt more passionate about anything in life than Motocross.
Age: 35
Occupation: Self employed(paintless dent repair)
also have a degree in Anthropology that I got for fun.(grew up hunting arrowheads and artifacts)

Current ride: 2007 CR 144, XR 100, various pit bikes
Racing Accomplishments: Few local championships in schoolboy. Qualified for RM cup then broke both ankles and never went. Was a big time Moto nerd. All my buddies would laugh at how I knew everyone's name, number, and stats at any local or regional race.
Greatest Accomplishment:
Been with their mom for 15 yrs
We also have custody of my wife's niece, and have been raising her the past 4 years.
Misc: I like to sing and play guitar. I play solo acoustic delta blues shows. Also sing with a southern rock band. We cover Allman Brothers, Zeppelin, etc. plus some originals.
55
2006 RM250
Owner of a Locksmith Shop
First race in 1977
I do the RV thing with my gal
I'll be 41 tomorrow
Started riding at 11
Started racing at 14
Work as a service manager at a Honda/Arctic Cat powersports dealership
2017 CRF450R, 2016 CRF450R, 2005 CRF450X
Still race various type off dirt events from Motocross, to desert, to endurance races.
Greatest racing accomplishments were probably the 2014 Vet A mx title in the Big Sky MX series. Was a tough championship for me as I had to fight down to the last race to win it. Also finishing 4th in the Ironman class at the 24 hours of Starvation Ridge in some of the nastiest mud I have ever dealt with. I've had a good local run of success with racing in my life that I would trade for anything. The friends I have made through all the years are worth the scars and stories for sure.
Now a days I do less racing after some old injuries have caught up to me requiring quite a bit of down time and major surgery. Instead of getting my racing fix I like to mentor kids and new members at our local track and give back to the sport I have loved for so long. I also help people get their bike setup figured out so they can be more comfortable and safer. Most people have NO clue what suspension clickers do or how to adjust things right.
So that's basically me. I have a wife and kids that ride bikes as well. We are a dirt family and have a toy hauler that is gone pretty much every weekend in the summer either going racing, to the mountains, or where ever to enjoy our time on earth. Life is pretty good all things considered. I have been blessed by the man above and am very thankful for it.
Cheers,
Semper Fi!!!

Good luck on your search for a job in the industry, though. I hope you land somewhere.
