When did you begin riding and racing? At what point did you become a District 23
ARMCA member?
I’ve been riding since I was a little kid. Raced a couple of seasons as a C rider in my 20's, but started really racing in 2010 after being hospitalized with a heart attack. I've been a regular member of D23 ARMCA since 2010.

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

My greatest accomplishment is without a doubt all of the amazing people I have been lucky enough to meet and ride with. By racing standards it would probably be my D23 ARMCA Super Senior A Championship in 2021.

What are your goals for 2023? Beyond?

As Always, to ride as much as possible, have as much fun as I can, and not hurt myself. Lol

Why do you continue to race in D23 ARMCA?

The People, and the venues. We have some truly outstanding people, and some phenomenal places to ride. Right here in D23!

Who inspires you in racing?

Everybody. But mostly anyone who just finished an enduro for the first time. Makes me deeply happy, to see someone have that experience and to know that now, they know.

How has motorcycling impacted your life?

It has always been my Cycle Therapy, from when I was a small kid on my dads bike with him, until now, in my 50's riding..... being on a motorcycle calms me, and makes me happy!

What is your favorite food to eat on race day?

Free?

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

Everything about riding gets me pumped up, but I used to read before a Hare Scramble and I have fond memories of an old guy who used to blind side tackle me before races...... always got the heart rate up there!!

What else do you like to do for fun?

I enjoy concerts, and the last year or so, I've found that I enjoy time in the gym. And also, dogs, I really enjoy spending time doing dog stuff with dogs.

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

"You'd be alot faster, if you slowed down a little bit and stopped crashing." Dave S

What advice do you have for other D23 ARMCA members?

if you're not having fun, you are doing it wrong.

Anything else you’d like to mention?

We are all in this together, never be afraid to ask if you have questions, and always feel free to say Hi, if you see me around.
