Bio:

Born 1969 Taber, Alberta. I am a single dad to 4 wonderful kids: Mike, Matthew, Kassandra and Arianna. I got back into riding in 2004 and started riding track days in 2005.

I enjoyed riding track so much I spent most of my time in 2006 riding track rather than on the street. I decided to race in 2007 and turned the street bike into full time race bike.

I organized the Ducati Cup class in 2007 in an effort to help get more Ducatista out the track and racing these wonderful machines.

I am also on the CMRA Executive Committee as the Media Rep and promote track riding through the many Ducati and motorcycle forums that I am active on.

Bio:

I was born July 1, 1992 my love for motorbikes started when my dad brought home his 2004 Ducati 749 Dark. I knew I had to have my own motorbike!

For the 2006 and 2007 racing season I worked in the pits at races and race related events for my dad at Race City.

I also helped all the Ducati riders that raced in the 2007 Ducati Cup, thats how I earned my nickname "Crew Chief".

I started my racing career on the mini-track with my Yamaha YSR80 in 2007 but for the 2008 season I'm stepping it up a bit and heading for the big track on my Kawasaki Ninja 250R.
