Yo this is my story I was born June 22 1977 I grew up in Mays Landing New Jersey

I got my first dirt bike when I was 8 year old it was a XR80.When I was 10 I got a CR80 I was ripping up Hickory St. pit with my boy Woerner That’s all we did .RIDE! Until it was dark out everyday even when it was cold as shit in the winter, snow on the ground, it didn’t matter we were riding! I started racing that year at the local motocross track in New Egypt, NJ the next year I went to Gary bailey’s motocross school so I could work on my technique I got faster every year, I always finished top three in my class every race 1991 was my last year on 80's I schooled everyone in my district.

In 1992 I jumped up to the 125 schoolboy class in1994 raced 125 and 250 amateur class 1995 started racing pro class I raced the 125 outdoor Nationals and east coast Supercross series.

From 1995 to mid 1997 I tried my hardest at racing, but I just wasn't going fast enough

I was getting smoked during that time I met up with Deegan and we were hanging out a lot at the races, he was telling me to get out of Jersey and come out to California so between Budds creek and Southwick nationals Deegan stayed at my crib in Jersey and we filmed all week with the dudes from Moto XXX. I was so pumped that I was going to be in a Moto video so after missing the qualifying at Southwick I came home packed my van and headed straight west with 200 bucks in my pocket, in a piece of shit van, and a cr125 moved in with Deegan, and just started filming as much as possible.

We would go out in the hills and try to find the sick hits and bust tricks over them, little did we know that we were starting a whole new sport “Freestyle Motocross” during all of that I met Dana from Fleshwound films and started riding for Fleshgear he also hooked me up with the boys from Black Fly’s.

1998 was the first ever freestyle contest it was held in Las Vegas I finished 11th .I got to go on the Vans Warped tour after this It happened to be the very first tour of freestyle motocross, and first time any of us jumped ramp to ramp. During that tour I picked up two more sponsors DVS shoes and split clothing.

In 1999 freestyle went mainstream. X games and Gravity games started. I won a silver medal that year at Gravity with Kris Roake in the team competition.

In 2002 I won a bronze medal at gravity games in the moto challenge.

2003 I learned to do back flips. I love stepping my game up.

2004 I won a bronze medal at the Gravity games in freestyle. Things are going good and I have plans to make them better I have been in the game since day one. I watched this whole sport blow up. I been to so many countries with the boys from fleshwound films, I been on every Crusty Tour world wide X-Games, Gravity Games, Tony Hawk's tour both years. I have done it all! But I'm not done yet I still got big plans and big goals. I'm thankful for the life I live! See you at the top!

2oo5 was my best year yet... I was riding better then I ever had in the past... I'm in the best shape of my life, and my thinking has changed majorly this past year.... I started off the year in Australia for the mulisha tour did 5 shows down there. Came home did the via la bam show for mtv, its was off the meter...but deegan almost died the last day we were there so, that sucked. Got home from that and went to the first round of the dew tour in Kentucky finished 4th. Flew straight to the boom boom huck jam tour and was on the road for two month we did 30 cities...off the hook...during that also went to gravity games finished 3rd in best trick...and hit the 2nd round of the dew tour in Denver. Next up was X games in Los Angeles. I got 6th in freestyle and 5th in best trick. After that I hit the last 3 rounds of the dew tour ...finished 5th overall in points...then ended my year with a win in vegas for the 06 X games qualifier and 2nd in best trick for 06 winter x games.

2006 started off good and ended bad! I won a bronze medal at winter x games....road the first two rounds of the dew tour and then went for a 360 at summer x games and went down hard...I fractured my wrist, separated my shoulder and sprained my ankle....sat the rest of the year out until November. Got to ride in the Jeremy Mcgrath SX.

2007 stared off rough also in feb.. i tour my ACL....i choose not to get surgery until afer the season....after two months im back on the bike and ready to give it 100% this year...

Remember focus on what you have and what your good at, and be thankful for what you have. Keep GOD first in your life and don't take anything for granted. Believe in yourself, stay dedicated, and always think positive. The power is within, it's up to you.

Peace & blessings to all my brothers and sisters!
