Since I can remember I have been around motorsports. I grew up with my dad having motorcycles, dirt bikes, four wheelers & three wheelers. My dad passed on the love of motorsports by getting me my first pw50 at the age of 4. He built a track in our back yard, and I spent many hours on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That following summer I was so excited to have my first race. Unfortunately, I never even got to line up for the race since I thought practice was part of the race and I ended up going over the bars and broke the front end of my bike. After that my parents decided, I could wait to start my racing career until I was 13 and have been racing motocross and hare scrambles in Minnesota and Wisconsin ever since. I really enjoy the different challenges the two provide: motocross with the jumps and hare scrambles with the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once I could drive, I got my first job at Bob\u2019s Cycle Supply. I eventually saved up enough money to get my first street bike, a Yamaha FZ6R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been working in the motorcycle industry for 14 years and I absolutely love working in an industry I have so much passion for. The people are amazing, and majority of my friends are from the riding community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My current bike is a 2022 Yamaha YZ250F, that I was lucky & skilled enough to win in a fantasy motocross league. My wife would say that I\u2019m a super nerd when it comes to motocross, but that\u2019s okay with me. One of my favorite things to do on Saturdays is to watch the Pro Motocross races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year my wife and I had our first child, and you could say I\u2019m very excited to pass on my love for motorcycles to her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
