When did you start riding and how did you get into the sport? Well we have to go back to 1965 6hp mini bike; then in 1969 I got a Honda 90 and started racing TT's--it's like flat track but left and right turns. I did that till about 1973 and got a 1973 Yamaha 100mx and started racing SRA GP's 1975. I got a 1973 125 Honda Elsinor which i still have. In 1976 I got a new Yamaha yz125, raced SRA GP's on that bike until a crash in 1977 at Riverside Raceway and broke my hip. Off for 1 year, but then got a 1978 yz 400 and went back to racing GP's. I finally stopped racing, but in 1983 I got a yz 490 and would just ride the desert. I quit riding in 1985 and 20 years later got a yz250f.

Do you have a favorite rider or role model? No real favorite I like what they are all doing.

What's your motivation to go out and ride? Just to go riding with my son Josh and try to help him with his riding.

What do u do at PanicRev? Take pictures and help out when I can.

How did you find PanicRev? Surfing the net looking for a motocross ministry.

Do you believe in what PanicRev is doing? 100% I think it is great for the sport. The ministry is helping to teach that you can be Christian and ride at the same time.

Why do you love Jesus? I love Jesus because he lead me from darkness to light in life and never stopped loving me. He loved me even if I did not love him. Boy has my life changed.
