Slo-Moe Racing
Bio

Born in 1973 in Portland, Oregon. I grew up in SE Portland, eventually attending Benson High School graduating in 1991. From there I went to Oregon State University where I graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 1996. I started working in the high tech industry. Obtained my MBA from Portland State University in 2003. Personally I enjoy street riding, cycling, working out, cooking, dining, poker, and generally hanging out with my friends.

I started riding in 2001 when I purchased a 2001 Triumph Speed Triple. I took my first track day the following year from PSSR. Then another...then another. Eventually I purchased a 2001 Suzuki SV650, which was stolen....but I was hooked. I bought a 2004 SV650 from Alan Schwen. Did novice school in 2006 and started racing with OMRRA. Along the way I was helped and guided by on track and off track mentors and friends Keith Pinkstaff #21, Kevin Pinkstaff #21, Brian Pinkstaff #121, Mike Gray #49, Dave Salmi #40, Oliver Jervis #125, Mark Bothe and many others.

2006 I saw my best finish of 5th place. I finished 9th Place Season overall in 450 Superbike and 16th place Season overall in Middleweight Supersport. I was plagued by a broken collarbone which prevented me from racing 2 race weekends. I was also named one of three OMRRA Top Novice Award Winners for 2006.

2007 I expanded the race program with support from Sponsors. See Sponsors page. I raced a 2004 SV650 in OMRRA 450 Superbike and Middleweight supersport to 7th place in those classes. I also raced a 2003 SV500 in OMRRA Lightweight Superbike to 3rd place in the class. I also raced in WMRRA at Spokane and Seattle to several top 5 finishes in 650SS and MW GP twins.

2008 I plan to race in OMRRA 450 Clubman and Lightweight Superbike on a 2003 SV500 and a 2004 SV650 in 450 Superbike. I also plan to race select WMRRA races depending on schedule.
