Started in 1975. Raced off and on until 1984. Took about 20+ years off and started racing again. I am very slow but just out there to have fun. I adopted a new mantra "I am still faster than the guy sitting on the couch." BMX has given me life long friends and memories. Please click on the Sponsors tab to the left to see my sponsors.

Racing again after 40 years! I had not been on a bmx track since 1982 (40 years)! Then, my friend Mark Darcy talked me into racing at the Frogtown vintage reunion race.. I had a great time racing there, then two weeks later Art Ornelas from Race Inc offered me a spot on the factory team for 2023 and set me up with a new Race Inc 24" Cruiser! After that, Mark and I Spent the day putting the bike together just about one week before the Silver Dollar Nationals, I was hoping Vegas wasnt my first race, but with the weather, thats exactly what happened! In the end, lack of time on the bike really proved problematic. I made small mistakes each day that kept me out of the mains, but Sunday I did make the semi.. with some trianing and time on the bike, I am hoping to be a differnt racer in the near future..

I participated in my 1st race on 6-18-21, it was Olympic Day. I remember feeling so nervous & scared, even telling myself "I can't believe you're doing this!". But at the end of the night, I realized I had a blast. It was so much fun. I had played softball most of my life, so this was something completely new to me. I saw this and felt it applied to me... "ITS NOT THE FINISH LINE THAT MATTERS. ITS HAVING THE COURAGE TO START." I decided to stick around and continue with this sport. Over that 1st year I've met some amazing women and made new friends. The men have also been so awesome to me, I totally appreciate them too. It's been quite a journey so far, and it's been awesome to share it all with my Husband (who is the person who got me into this sport) right by my side. Its cool that we both race and share these memories together.
