How I got started

My brother decided to race so I decided to race with him.

Goals for the Future

For 2009 I hope to do more racing than last year as I will have more weekends off from work. My racing goals are to win the overall +25 Junior or Intermediate (depending on how my pre-season training and riding go) class for this season by focusing on fitness, intensity and technique.

Why do you like this sport?

My whole family goes to the races and I love to spend time with them and be around other friends at the races also.

Some Personal Information About Me:

Out of race season, I also hunt, waterski, play racquetball, work a lot, and of course enjoy spending time with family.

Describe your style...

Smooth, conservative and smart like Kevin Windham.

Do you train? What does your schedule look like?

I like to go to the gym on the week days and run on the treadmill for about 20 minutes (about 1 and 1/2 miles) three or four times a week depending on my work schedule and play some racquetball when time permits also, then ride on Saturday.

Why do you compete?

I`m a very competitive person. I like the intensity of competition, rivalries and good sportsmanship. It drives me to be better at the sport and better as a person in general.

I hadn't been able to race much until 2005 so I started out racing three races in the beginner class,then I won my fourth race,so I moved up to the open junior class and got 2nd. Then by my last race of the year I got 1st place in the open junior class.
