Started riding when I was 18. I bought a cruiser and rode that for about a year and then a friend of mine let me ride his VFR. After that I knew I needed to get a sports bike. I bought a 97 Honda F3 and hit the roads. The addiction set in. I would take yearly trips to Arkansas to ride the twisties and after a bad accident, I decided it was time to take it to the track to fullfill my needs. I did track days for about a year, then took the MCRA Licensing Clinic and entered my first race in August of 2006. This was just what I needed since I thrived on being competitive ever since my high school days when I was involved in football and track. I was definately hooked! After the 2006 season, I bought a race prepped SV650 and started racing with CCS. I was unsure of just how well I would do but after the first race weekend I started to feel pretty good about it. I won my first 8 races of 2006 and ended up with 3 regional championships in Lightweight Supersport, Lightweight Superbike and GT Lights. Been racing ever since!

My future plans include continuing my work with the MCRA and the MCRA Race Licensing Clinic to help assist new racers entering the sport. I also plan on moving up and racing ASRA and hopefully Moto-ST as well as continuing with MCRA and CCS.
