Short Bio
I got into sportbikes to pickup chicks! I went to Deals Gap and had a lot of fun but ended up sliding off the side of the mountain. I did a trackday a couple of years later and started racing shortly after that. I raced WERA until I felt that I was ready to go to the AMA. My first full season of AMA was 2002 and finished off the season with a second place at VIR in Superstock where Tommy Hayden got me at the line by .6 of a second for the win! I continued in AMA until 2007 when I decided to get back to the roots of racing – to have fun competing. I’ve returned to WERA where I am having more fun than I ever have!
