- I think my biggest influence is my Dad. He's always been there for me and he won a couple of world titles and a national title in Pro Stock drag racing and it gives me the goal to be like him.

DFB: What are some of your hobbies besides motocross?

- Just hanging out with friends you know. Having fun going to the beach, movies, go carting, jumping golf carts (hahaha)and spending time with my girlfriend. Pretty much anything fun

DFB: Who would you say is your biggest competition?

- Theres a lot of guys in A class this year. It's really tough to say who is the biggest but Steven Clarke, Vince Friese and all the other A riders here at MTF are going really fast and we're pushing ourselves really hard.

DFB: What do you to train?

- Well I ride Monday - Thursday for about 4 hours doing motos, working on sections, and sprints. Then I spend a lot of time in the gym doing cardio as well as strength training during certain times of the year.

DFB: Who got you started in the sport of motocross?

- My Dad's good friend Rich Cain used to race a lot and told my Dad to get me a bike for Christmas when I was 2 and loved it ever since.

DFB: Who’s your favorite pro rider and why?

- I think James Stewart just because he has so much talent and can do almost anything he needs to when he needs to do it.

DFB: Do you consider yourself successful at what you do?

- For the past couple of years...not really. I've had a lot of injuries keeping me on the sidelines but I think I'm getting to wear I can start being successful now.

DFB: Do you have any future plans or goals to achieve in this sport?

- Yeah for sure. I want to win some pro titles and also become a trainer when I'm done with my racing career.

DFB: What are your plans for the year of 2008?

- I would like to make a bigger name for myself. I deffinately want to win some titles this year in the A class and get on the map so I can have a factory ride for 2009.

DFB: Off the serious note, let's ask some random questions

- Up here at MTF I hang out with pretty much everyone, and same with at the races. I'm good friends with a lot of people so its kinda hard to name all of them

DFB: What’s one thing you can’t live without?

- Riding. Without it I'm pretty much lost.

DFB: What’s your favorite food?

- I love Italian foods and BBQ stuff for sure.

DFB: Ok, so is there anyone you'd like to thank for getting you where you are now?
