I am the Vice President for Richfield Park BMX in Davison, MI. Currently I race 19-27 Expert class and have been racing since 2004. Starting in 2002, a few friends started racing at my local track. I wanted to be a part of the bmx culture. We had these trail sections in the Clio Park that I was more interested in at the time. So I began as a trail rider. From jumping small jumps all the way up to our pro jump where I jumped over vehicles and put on shows for events at the Clio Park. Some other friends and myself approached the City Council and presented a proposition to have Bobcats and $1,000 worth of dirt donated where the city would help us build these amazing dirt jumps. And so they agreed. Having progressed into bike park and street riding, I migrated into racing where I felt I was a part of something unique and now I am glad to be a part of the decision making and outcomes of my local home track to make it the best track in Michigan!

As a racer, I have been racing Cruiser class since the age of 46. I started racing because I felt I was missing out on the fun while watching my oldest daughter tear it up on the track. All my kids have raced with me as time has passed. I continue to race in Cruiser class at my local track Richfield Park BMX while also competing on the National Level. I always do my best and try to put a fun face on the experience rather than be demoralized when I don't do well. However, I do have a fire in my belly to win. So, no matter which track or event I am at, when the gate drops I am giving it all I got. On the backside, I am a Skilled Trades Millwright that works for General Motors at the Lansing Grand River Body Shop helping keep the line running that makes Camaro's and Cadillacs. I have three beautiful daughters, an old boxer dog named Angus that hangs out with me at the local bmx track. I am the Track Operator at Richfield Park BMX and make the most out what income we can generate through the local races. Sometimes we improvise and things still seem to work out for the best. To finish, I would simply say, If you have the time and are close please stop out to Richfield Park BMX and get your bikes and racing mojo on the track. We are always working to make it stand out and be a National Caliber race track.
