Goals for 2007:

Describe your Ideal Track:
My ideal track is about a 10 mile track about 2.5 hours long with wide open turns in the fields then leading into a small mx track then back in to the woods with monsterous hill climbs and water crossings. Then changing to log crossings and stuff like that. Kinda like the Red Bull last man standing tracks.

Favorite Track:
My favorite GNCC track is probaly The Wisp and favorite D5 track is the new one in MD.

Describe your worst crash:
My worst crash was probaly up at Kelly Mountian last year. I came out into that gravel rode, I think on the 4th or 5th lap, and was 2nd overall and went to berm it on that road bank and missed and my bike slung me off into the road landing on my back. I looked up and my bike was flipping down the rode and landed right on me smashing my tailbone into the ground. I tried to get up, but just couldnt do it. I thought I was paralized. They the took me out in the ambulance and I went and got x rays and luckily I only bruised my tail bone. Also last year I had just rebuilt my RM 250 and it was the first time I rode in the spring. I took my bike out and rode for about 15 mins and I went to hit this down hill jump about 3rd gear wide open and when I did I was in mid air and my front tire fell off, LOL. so you can pick either one of those. YOU choose.

Describe your best racing day you have had:
My best racing was year before last at The Wisp GNCC. I had no bike to race and both of mine were blown up. So my buddy Brett howell let me borrow his RM 125 and I raced in school boy class Everyone kept telling me about this KTM rider that had a factory ride and was so fast no one beat him all year. Belive me he was cocky, but I managed to get about 10th off of the start and later caught the leader and battled it out with him for a little bit then took the lead and never looked back. I won on a bike that was not even mine.

How you make a living:
I make a living working as a telemarketer at the Texas State Fraturnal Order of Police.

Describe you training program:
My fitness program is kinda screwed up right now because of work. I jog about 3 to 4 miles 2 to 3 times a week and ride for about 2 hours 2 times a week because that is all I can do with work and all. I hydrate myself as much as possible and eat extra healthy, eating alot of pastas and bannans getting all the carbs and potassium I can.

I like racing because it is the most fun thing I have ever done and it keeps me out of trouble. Also I can maybe one day make a living doing it.

What you do in your spare time:
I hunt, fish, ride and hangout with my friends and girlfriend in my spare time.

My favorite music is probably something like hard metal, like Disturbed (Down with the sick ness) Because it gets me pumped for racing. I also like country.

My favorite food is a meatball sub.

Riding and more riding!
