Personal History
I am a healthcare program director that loves spending time with his wife and 2 boys. Motorcycling is a family sport for us. My father initially got my brother and I into the sport around 1990. He still races and continues to be a top ranked rider in his classes; you won't find many faster men in their early seventies.
If I'm not home with my family or motorcycling, I'm probably running, mountain biking, road biking, golfing or disc golfing. I enjoy many activities and the comradery with fellow
racers and enthusiasts.
After several years away, I've finally found the time to dedicate efforts back to the sport. I am the current president of Hocking Valley MC and lead our largest events. Last year we grew to our largest enrollment yet with 377 rider days registered. I spend a lot of time with those registered riders where I can represent a brand well (riding, MCing, 1:1 convos). Myself and one other officer share the social media duties with a follower base of 2800+ and continues to grow.
I'm glad to be contributing to a sport I love and am looking to represent my brands well through results but more importantly, community outreach.
Riding Goals
I entered my first GNCC in 18 years at the 2023 Ironman and finished 6th in my class. I'd like to run a few more GNCCs this year, but focus more on the ACES enduros where I hope to be in the top 5 at the end of the year. Additionally, I want to continue leading my club events to grow and support our sport. Without these organizations, our sport can't thrive...that's my biggest passion.
Competitive Highlights
When I was younger, I competed in District 11 (Southern Ohio) where I won several races and finished 2nd multiple times. After high school I went to college fulltime, but did have a chance to run the entire 2005 GNCC series in the 250B class where I finished 8th for the season and consistently in the top 80 overall.
