Personal History
With the 2019 Best in the Desert's Vegas to Reno fast approaching, I am preparing and training for a goal of mine years in the making. I am a 28 year old adventure seeker from San Clemente, California. Six years ago I road a dirtbike for the first time, and today I am preparing for the longest off-road race in the United States. Pushing myself has always been a passion of mine. I am a goal driven individual who enjoys pushing myself past limits I thought I could not surpass. This internal drive inside of me started in high school when I began wrestling. As such a physically and mentally demanding sport, I was part of only 10% of wrestlers to stay committed to such an intense program for all four years of high school. Immediately after high school, I began working on sport fishing boats in the largest fleet in the world based out of San Diego, Ca. At only 18 years old, I was working 15 days straight, typically for 20 hours a day. I soon followed my childhood dream of becoming a firefighter. Working in the widlfire prone area of Kern County, I spend my summers fighting large wildfires for five years. Most recently, and one of my proudest accomplishments, while in a fire academy with the Orange County Fire Authority, I graduated as "Top Recruit" and set a record in the infamous "Tower Workout" of our 1,000 person fire department. I'm recently engaged, and focus the majority of my time on friends and family.
Riding Goals
Racing in the Iron Man Class in the longest off-road race in the country has been a goal of mine for years. 2019 is the year for me to chase after this dream as my personal and work life have aligned and allow it. I will need help with multiple aspects of the race. The total cost will be roughly $10,000. This will cover the entry fee, full bike rebuild, pit crew, hotels, food, fuel, and spare parts. This is an exciting race with lots of publicity. I'm just as excited as your are to take on such an adventure.
