I was born January 8, 1988 in Durango, CO.  I grew up in a small town nearby called Bayfield.  I graduated in 2006 and moved to Phoenix, AZ in May of 2006 for both college and the riding. 

I am a very dedicated individual.  Motocross is my passion and it is what makes me feel like I have purpose in life.  I dedicate everything I have to racing.  I work full time, and pay my own way.  I moved to Phoenix in hopes of helping my career.  I haven't had the easiest path to success but something like that is just another obstacle that I have to figure out how to defeat.  I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep myself on a bike.  I sacrifice almost anything I can live without to accomplish this.  The path I am walking has really shown me a lot and helped me develop as a person.  I am confident in my abilities and feel that it is only a matter of time until I catch my break and everything comes together.  Until then I will continue working and looking forward to that day. 

Beside racing, I love learning, and I understand the importance of education.  I was an honor role studen in high school, and have a 3.12 college GPA.  I wish my college GPA was higher, but missing class due to injuries and work have hindered it a little bit.  Still, I am proud of what I am doing and can say that I give it my all.  Currently, I heading into my third year of college at Paradise Valley Community College. I will be transferring to the ASU W.P. Carey School of Business as a Junior for the Spring 2009 semester. I will earn my associates degree during the fall 2008.  My major will be CIS (Computer Information Systems) management.

When I'm not working, riding, training, or going to school, I also play guitar, read, and love hanging out with friends.
