Personal History
Greetings! I'm [Your Name], a retired Air Force veteran with a rich tapestry of experiences spanning 12 years of dedicated service in tactical aircraft maintenance. My journey began at Aviano Air Base in Italy, where I spent 4 years on the flight line, honing my skills as a crew chief. From there, I ventured to Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, where I dedicated 2 years to crash recovery operations, ensuring the safety and readiness of our aircraft.
My career then led me to the beautiful landscapes of New Mexico, where I served as a tactical aircraft maintenance instructor for 4 years, imparting knowledge and expertise to the next generation of Airmen. Later, I found myself at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, where I took on the role of a flight line expeditor for an F-16 Aggressor Squadron, orchestrating the smooth operation of vital missions.
Throughout my service, I had the privilege of being deployed in support of Operation Inherent Resolve and various other operations against the Islamic State, from 2010 to 2022. These experiences have not only shaped my professional journey but have also instilled in me a deep sense of duty, camaraderie, and resilience.
Now in retirement, I carry with me a wealth of experiences and a profound appreciation for teamwork, discipline, and adaptability. While my military career has drawn to a close, my passion for service and continuous learning burns as brightly as ever.
Beyond my military background, I pursued my passion for mechanics by attending auto mechanics school, where I honed my skills and knowledge in the intricacies of vehicle maintenance. Today, I bring that expertise to my current role as a quality assurance engineer, where I ensure that products meet the highest standards of excellence and safety.
In 2023, I embarked on a new entrepreneurial journey and started a mobile mechanics business focused on motorcycles, serving the greater Las Vegas area. This venture allows me to combine my technical know-how with my love for motorcycles, providing top-notch service to fellow enthusiasts and riders in need.
In my downtime, you'll often find me tinkering with engines, exploring the open road on my own bike, or delving into the latest advancements in automotive technology. I'm passionate about continuous learning and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the world of mechanics.
Riding Goals
To my esteemed sponsors,
I ride because it's not just a passion; it's a way of life. Each twist of the throttle, each lean into a corner, represents a dedication to pushing boundaries, testing limits, and striving for excellence. My journey with Yamaha has been nothing short of exhilarating, with each bike offering its own unique blend of power, precision, and performance.
Currently, my stable includes the Yamaha YZ250, Yamaha R1, Yamaha FZ10, and Yamaha R6. Each of these machines holds a special place in my heart, from the raw, adrenaline-fueled experience of tearing up the track on my YZ250 to the refined, high-speed thrills of the R1 and R6.
This year and beyond, my goals are clear: to continue pushing myself to new heights on the track and in racing circuits across the country. I've already made significant strides, starting with my journey at Tulie MX, where I began racing my Yamaha YZ250 in multiple classes. From the beginner ranks to the novice class and now venturing into the Kicker Arenacross, every race is a chance to learn, grow, and evolve as a rider.
In 2023, I expanded my horizons even further, taking on the challenge of track days with my Yamaha R6. Starting in local events and gradually making my mark in California, I've progressed from the beginner class to the advanced track day classes, hungry for more speed, more competition, and more opportunities to excel.
This year marks a pivotal moment in my racing journey as I prepare to attend the New Racers School, a crucial step towards obtaining my CVMA race license. With your support, I'm confident that I can achieve my dreams of competing at the highest level, representing not only myself but also the brands and partners who believe in me.
As your sponsored rider, I am committed to upholding the values of integrity, sportsmanship, and excellence both on and off the track. Together, we can reach new heights and inspire others to pursue their passions fearlessly.
Thank you for your unwavering support, and I look forward to making you proud in the races and adventures that lie ahead.
Competitive Highlights
Over the past 8 years, my racing journey has been a testament to dedication, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. From humble beginnings to podium-worthy performances, each race has been a stepping stone towards achieving my goals and pushing the limits of what's possible on the track.
One of my proudest accomplishments is the steady progression I've made in my race classes. Starting from placing in the top 10 of my class, I've worked tirelessly to refine my skills, fine-tune my technique, and elevate my performance. Through sheer determination and countless hours of practice, I've managed to consistently place in the top 5 of each of my race classes, a testament to the hard work and commitment that drives me forward.
Looking ahead, I'm excited to embark on a new chapter of my racing journey as I prepare to join the ranks of the CVMA race series later this fall. It's a thrilling opportunity to test my mettle against some of the best riders in the country, to push my limits even further, and to continue honing my craft on the track.
While trophies and podium finishes are certainly gratifying, it's the journey itself that fuels my passion for racing. Each race is an opportunity to learn, grow, and evolve as a rider, and I'm grateful for every twist and turn that has brought me to where I am today.
As I set my sights on the challenges that lie ahead, I'm deeply grateful for the support of my sponsors, friends, and fellow riders who have stood by me every step of the way. Together, we'll continue to chase dreams, break barriers, and carve our legacy on the asphalt.
