I am 46 years old, married, and have three children ages sixteen, thirteen, and nine.  I was born in Memphis, Tennessee and moved to Arlington, Texas in 2000.  I have been riding motocross bikes for over 20 years.

I attended Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee where I received a Bachelor of Science degree.  Before I started tuning motocross bikes as a full time profession, I worked as a research scientist.  After college, I continued to increase my knowledge by taking additional courses such as welding, electronics, hydraulics, and Spanish.  I also took courses in general education and training.

I began learning suspension by reading and studying everything I could get my hands on, including owner manuals.  My role as a scientist and problem solver became an excellent fit for the science of suspension development, where the ability to successfully trouble-shoot is a must.

My years of racing motocross and hare scrambles have also been a great help to me in the tuning and further development of suspension systems.  Nowadays I primarily ride to see where the problem spots and obstacles develop on the local tracks (and also for the exercise).

One of my favorite things is to set up a bike for a racer and later hear how much he likes it after he experiences it.

Most recently I earned an MBA degree from Notre Dame to further enhance my business operations.
