Personal History
Started riding motorcycles in September 2004, rode street motorcycles and commuted up until March of 2008 where I was involved in a bad accident between a car and I. Stopped riding street that year and started doing track days in February of 2009 then started racing my SV650 in Willow Springs Motorcycle Club (WSMC) on June 2010. I accrued enough points to race Provisional Expert the next year with WSMC in 2011. If I had started racing novice in the beginning of the year, there would’ve been no doubt of me taking the novice championship, but I want to achieve something greater, so thus decided to race in Provisional Expert next year. I now race with four different clubs, Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association (CVMA), Western Eastern Roadracing Association (WERA), Moto West Grand Prix (MWGP), and Super TT American Racing Series (STTARS). For cross training I Crossfit, Mountain bike, ride/race a Honda CRF 450R supermoto at the local Kart tracks (Adams Kart track, Grange, Qualcomm Stadium, Apex), attend regular track days with my SV650’s, and am a control rider for one of Southern California’s top track day organizations, TrackXperience (Trackxperience.com)
