Who are you?
I'm recently know as the SV-Motard guy
What do you do?
By day I'm a Business Intelligence Engineering Manager.
The 'Real Me' = I ride for TWF, instruct with Z2TrackDays and work with the AFM on the New Racer Mentor program. I am fairly focused during the day, but I talk to everyone and I'm generally hard to find once the track goes cold since I tend to wonder the pits with what I have coined "social ADD".
I also maintain the team's website as well as CODE4 Racing who I helped form and loosely managed for the first two seasons.
Where do you do it?
I've raced on many of the tracks back East in the late 80's and early 90's. After relocating to Nevada I've enjoyed time on most of the West Coast tracks. I still have a few more to get to though.

When do you do it?
Pretty much year round. Our AFM race season is 8 months long and our track day schedule only takes January off. I'm on track typically two weekends out of the month which makes you feel like a carnie... packing/unpacking that often as you drive around the West Coast.

Why do you do it?
I do it to keep my sanity, feel relaxed and avoid the lawyer fees I would encure if I didn't have this outlet. After a weekend on track, I am as relaxed as I'll ever get. If I have to go more than 4-5 days without at least riding to work... I get anxious. After a month of not being on track I get obnoxious.
How do you do it?
I do it to the best of my ability. I am lucky enough to be athletic and I take to most sports enough to be competitive. Racing is the only sport I have felt a desire for for most of my life. From an early age I loved racing... anything... competitive swimming, BMX, Mnt. Bikes, Moto-cross, Harescrambles. it's about as basic of a need for me as food and sex.
I am also very lucky to have a wife that supports my need for this consuming sport and accompanies me to just about every event along with my Daughter Megan who screams loud enough for me to almost hear her as I pass down the front straight. I would be hard pressed to do as well as I do without their support. (Having a successful career in Business Intelligence is helpful too when the bills come in :D )
