Short Bio
I’m from a little town call Waialua (pronounced Y-Lua) , Where I started riding dirt bikes when I was 8. Growing up I attended private school @ SMS and HS @ WSH. Then I moved to LA, Cali to go to Tech school after that I moved home after graduating. For two years I was working at the airport as a mechanic. I decided to moved to Arizona and attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University for my Aero Science degree with a minor in Aviation Safety….I had a go at it… After that went to work for 5 Airlines, two corporate maintenance (biz jets) facility and Fixed Based Operations (FBOs).
At the same time I got into sportbike racing due to my cousin Rho (thanks) back in the mid-90s. I started racing full time in 1996 with CCS (Championship Cup Series) Southwest. 2003 I switched to Expert status after winning two Ameteur Class Championships and a podium@ Daytona.
I currently still in active race status on the Southwest CCS tracks and the ASRA (American Sportbike Racing Association), my SW regional & national race # is 128. ZooM!
Best Ride or Race
Best Ride from Phoenix AZ to San Diego with my cousin Rho. Best race taking 3rd at Daytona…tough race and I was inches away from the top box.
