I began by riding my first bike a Yamaha PW80 at the age of 6. We lived in rural Pennsylvania at the time and could ride directly from our house, so it was quite often.
Once I mastered the skills necessary on the PW80 I switched to a Honda CRF. Didn't take me long after that to realize a quad was what I wanted. All my friends
rode them, they were everywhere, and pretty much, my Dad and I were the sole MX riders.
Along came a blaster... I had a neighbor who did his own race work on banshee's and I picked a Yamaha Blaster up from him. Ran great, but just wasn't enough, even from the beginning, so we picked up a brand new Suzuki Z400 soon after acquiring the blaster. I rode this for a time until we moved from PA to CA and eventually raced the quad at Ukiah Speedway MX. My first race experience in CA. I had raced it previously in PA but not much. I ended up 6th in points that year in Adult quads. I was 15. After blowing that motor up, we purchased a new Suzuki LTR450, and this quad and another LTR were the ones I have been racing since. Recently I sold the LTR and picked up two YFZR's. I have done all my own work so far, so I am knowledgeable and capable of keeping my quads running and on the track.
So, pretty much, I have been riding since the age of 6, and racing since the age of 14. I intend to fully stay committed to my race program.
