A lifelong resident of Ohio - the great Buckeye State! I enjoy electronics, cars and trucks, and of course motorcycles. I like to work out and cycle to stay fit. I enjoy music and movies too. I work in the I.T. field for a truck equipment manufacturer in Ohio.
Roadracing is a passion of mine. I've enjoyed motorcycles my entire life but never entered competition until 2001.
