PERSONAL:
- Grew up in Florida, lived in
Colorado for five years, have been in Atlanta for 25 years
- Married for 25 years, have a son
and daughter (both in college)
- My real job is with a
transaction processing company, EFX Corporation
- I
don’t have another hobby, except for working on my bike…prepping it for
the next ride or race. Although my wife and I do spend a lot of time in
the mountains of NC (where I keep two other bikes).
WHY I'M
RACING THE 2010 BAJA 1000
- Used to watch it on ABC sports
as a
kid, always thought it looked very cool
- The Baja 1000 is a warm up for
Dakar
- Racing in a desolate, dangerous
area of a third world country, going without sleep and surviving on
RedBull, Powerbars and Gatoraide for two days, knowing some racers
don’t survive the event…what could be more appealing?
- I love Mexican food
- I don’t want to
sit around the retirement home, thinking I should have had more fun and
wishing for reincarnation.
WHAT
I'M DOING TO PREPARE FOR THE 2010 RACE
- Went
to the 2009 Baja 1000 and worked in the pits with the great folks at
Mag-7. Learned a lot about what it will take to finish the
race.
- Working with the rest of the DBBL team to help organize and plan the race.
- Getting
into better shape
- Switching
beer brands to Tecate
- Racing/riding
as much as I can
