I began riding at age 5 on a suzuki jr50. I began my racing career at the age of 10 on a 1986 YZ 80 in carlsbad NM. I raced motocross from age 10 until age 20. I returned to motocross racing as a hobbie at age 30 and continued racing motocross until 2008. In 2009 I bought my first sportbike which was a 2009 GSXR 600 and began my CNRA licensing process. I have not rode or competed since 2012. I am hopping to return to riding this year and racing next season.
