What discipline(s) do you participate in? Class(es)?

Hare scrambles 60A and Enduro 60A

When did you begin riding and racing? At what point did you become a District 23 ARMCA member?
I started riding at age 13. I raced motocross when I was 18

What is the greatest accomplishment of your riding/racing career?

Watching my two daughters, Michelle and Mary, and my two sons, Paul and Mark, grow up on dirt bikes and all four of them become state champions.

What are your goals for 2023? Beyond?

To give back to the sport by helping at the races, organize weekly trail rides and win another jacket.

Why do you continue to race in D23 ARMCA?

I enjoy racing and the D23 community. Minnesota has good people that put on great races.

Who inspires you in racing?

Old guys that still ride and race. When I see a 70 year old racing, I want to be that guy some day.

How has motorcycling impacted your life?

The D23 racing community is a great place to raise a family. Racing builds character. A winner on the track is usually a winner at life.

What is your favorite food to eat on race day?

A McDonalds Big Breakfast with hot cakes.

How do you get pumped up to ride/race? Music? Pep talks? Maybe quiet time is more your style?

I am actually calm on race day. If my bike is dialed in and I am healthy, I am going to do well.

What else do you like to do for fun?

I enjoy restoring old motorcycles. My wife and I like to travel. We also spend winters in Arizona where I trail ride and race the AMRA offroad series.

What advice has a fellow rider/racer given you that you follow?

Your bike is your dance partner. Learn how your bike moves and move with it.

What advice do you have for other D23 ARMCA members?

Join a club. You are going to meet some great people and have more fun than you thought possible.

Anything else you’d like to mention?

Racing should be fun. Don't take it too seriously. Just enjoy the ride.
