About me: I've lived the entirety of my life in Oregon's,
Willamette Valley. For 30 years I was a resident of Sweet Home, but nowadays
I call Albany my home.
My first bike/ATV: My first bike was a Yamaha PW50. Once I outgrew
that machine I rode an MR50 for a spell, but didn't participate in the sport
again until it was in my teens. When I did return, I was on a 1984 KX 125 -
that was a fun machine!
When I first started riding: I first started riding when I was
three years old (with the assistance of training wheels). I still remember
my first race, it was Portland International Raceway on a Thursday night,
and I got 5th place. What an eye-opener that was! I was hooked on racing for
a few years after that, but when it was time to step up to the 60/65cc
class, I lost interest for a number of years.
My favorite riding experience: Having been involved in the sport
for so many years, it's hard to pick just one. I can tell you that I'm a
competitive person who loves to race, so any day of racing is better than
most. For the most part though I still love a good trail ride with my
buddies. There aren't too many things that can compare to good friends and
good dirt.
Why I became an OMRA Officer: I love riding and racing in
Oregon. I've enjoyed some good times, met a lot of great people, and I want
future generations to have some of the same opportunities I've been lucky
enough to have. I think I can help make that happen by simply getting
involved, lending any expertise that I have, and putting in the effort with
other like-minded individuals.
I'd also like to say: Whatever it is that you're doing, go
out there and have fun!
