I grew up in Tompkinsville, Kentucky and still live there.
I started riding at the age of nine and gained experience
riding multiple
brands and sizes over the years. During my childhood, I enjoyed
and respected all
types of riding and racing, but focused mostly on motocross.
At the age of fifteen I
started running in GNCC events and started desert racing at
the age of eighteen in
the Baja 1000.
With a twenty-one year career under my belt, pro class for the
last eleven years, this year I am racing in the GNCC Pro Class, select events in the Mid-South Hare Scramble Series and Florida Trail Riders Series.
I've been called a Pro Quad racing icon. I don't know about icon, but I do know I have the most tremendous fans of any Pro Rider. I've been fortunate to be featured often in the media; ATV magazine publications, broadcast coverage of GNCC events, appearances on Moto World, The Outdoor Channel, Versus, ATV Television, ESPN2 and ABC, along with various websites and magazines. I have been featured on GNCC TV within select sponsors “Feature Product of the Week” segments and on GNCCcast.com giving video race recaps on ATVriders.com.
An area of my career I’m really excited about is my
work with sponsors
on product development. They are some of the most important
companies serving
the ATV industry. I help sponsors as a performance tester
of their products for
both racing and recreational uses. Because racing has been
my lifelong passion, my
experience gives me unusual insight about how a part or product
performs under different
terrain and weather conditions. This intuition allows me to
give feedback to a
manufacturer that is invaluable to engineering adjustments
with extraordinary results
in performance and safety.
I'm honored to welcome back the Army National Guard as my 2008 title sponsor. I'm proud to work with the National Guard at races, military base visits and other select events.
Yes, safety is real important to me. That’s one reason
I work with kids. I
regularly volunteer my time teaching children “safety
awareness”, to remember to always
wear a helmet and other tactics to prevent accidents. On numerous
occasions
I go to area classrooms speaking to students about the importance
of their education
now and in the future, regardless of what career they choose.
