Racing was something I’ve always wanted to do however family first! At the age of 49 I was diagnosed with some horrible news that I had 3 brain aneurisms and had a craniometry for the clipping of the brain aneurisms. Well February 20, 2020, I had my surgery after surgery I was very worried about recovering with vision, hearing, chewing, taste, and smell. 5 months latter my vision, and chewing healed completely, and I was completely released from the Dr’s, I still have hearing loss in the right ear, and I occasionally have taste, and smell they may never come back they said! So, I asked the question. Can I start motorcycle racing? The answer was yes you can do whatever you want there are ZERO RESTRICTIONS!! Alright Doc so December of 2020 I started racing and making it a point to say you are never too old to follow a dream. In the 2021 season it was tuff to get up and running however I was able to. In my first season I demonstrated my ability to race bringing home multiple wins throughout the (FMRRA) Florida Motorcycle Road Racing Association. Then in October of 2021 I raced at the Race of champions at Daytona International Raceway with the CCS org I brought home the a AMA National Championship. This year in the 2022 Race season I’m also doing club racing with Pan American Superbike things are looking pretty good. We had a crash in my 3-rd. race, but I was able to continue throughout the day on the twin’s bike. Round 1 I received 2 first place wins and 1 Second place win Round 2 I received 5 first place wins, 1 second place win, and 1 third place win Round 3 was a pretty good weekend bringing home 1 1st pace win, 3 2nd place wins, and 1 3rd place win. At the end of round 3 we are tied in points for the championship! Round 4 is in April of 2022 I'm excited to see what we can do then at Palm Beach International Raceway. Goal is to race in Moto America, and it will be happening later this year in 2022 so until then lets see where the road takes me!
