MXU's Mission

To say that the term unconventional describes my path in Motocross would be accurate. I started riding at the age of 13, and was obviously pretty terrible, but I just enjoyed being on two wheels. My father and I would go to a local track once a week on Sundays to ride together. He was no superstar either, so there wasn’t much for me to learn. Regardless, every time I got on the bike I was at my happiest. At 14 years old, I entered my first race, and 6 years later I earned an AMA pro racing license. Those six years didn’t come easy, as I stayed in public school, had commitments to other sports, obtained a business degree from the Community College of Rhode Island, and stayed in the Northeast the entire time. I was fast, but I got hurt often. I then began the journey of spending winter months at facilities, and I was able to clearly see the benefits of being surrounded by faster riders, and having a leader to push you further than you thought you were capable of being pushed. I also simultaneously began my journey as a traveling coach, teaching large classes one to three times per week for almost an entire year. I quickly began to understand the importance of the fundamentals. It was something that I had never given the proper amount of attention to, but the reality is that it’s extremely necessary. I have since been able to reinvent myself as a rider. My goal as a training and development organization is to get the most out of my athletes, by using the process that myself and the best athletes in motocross trust. Although I don’t have a resume that’s jam packed with my success, I can truly understand the most difficult of situations, and I have a passion for showing others how to get the most out of themselves.
