About Me:
I grew up in Minnesota and moved to Iowa after college. I think I was trying to find warmer weather, but didn’t quite make it far enough south. I currently live and work in the Quad Cities with my wife of 10 years and our pit bull, Percy.
My life pretty much revolves around racing and track days at this point — any given weekend during the summer months, there’s a good chance you’ll find me either on a race track somewhere or in the garage.
Highlights:
2016 CCS Midwest region champion, Amateur Unlimited Superbike & Amateur Unlimited Grand Prix
Took MotoVid’s JP43 clinic with Jason Pridmore in 2015. It was an outstanding experience and I highly recommend it!
Introduced my wife to the track in 2014 and watched her instantly become as addicted as I am — she started racing in 2015.
Track Day Advice:
Ride your own ride. Relax, have fun, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
