About me
I had a lifelong goal of racing ever since I was a little kid, but growing up poor, that was never an option. At the age of 20 I bought my first motorcycle, a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650R. What started out as a cheap way of going fast ignited a lifelong passion for two wheels. A few years later I upgraded to what has become my favorite bike platform, the Yamaha R6, and not long after I started doing trackdays, with my first trackday in 2015, which eventually led to fulfilling that lifelong goal of racing.
Over a decade later and countless miles, riding has consumed my life in the best way possible. I have made some of the best friends imaginable through a shared passion of motorcycles, as well as given my life a new-found purpose in teaching new riders the things I wish I had someone teach me.
In 2021 I began creating content online about motorcycles, riding, and technique. Since then I have made hundreds of videos and helped out countless riders understand the “why” of riding technique, maintenance, and safety equipment.

Touring is actually one of my favorite things to do on a bike. Every year a group of friends and I go on a multi-day ride, our longest was 1500 miles over 4 days. If you’ve never ridden out of your county, I’d strongly encourage you to give it a shot! The best memories I’ve ever had on two wheels have been on these trips.

Yes, I have crashed hard once, thankfully it was on the racetrack. It was a lowside at about 60mph, but thankfully I was able to get the bike fixed and race the next day.

Earplugs. If I could talk to younger me, I would insist that he wear earplugs sooner. Hearing damage sucks, tinnitus sucks more. Wear your ear plugs before you get permeant hearing damage.
