“The Butcher”
West Orange, NJ
PC: Lisa Theobald
I began my racing career in 1997 on a Honda
NSR250, which I competed on at
Bridgehampton, NY. and Loudon, NH. The
1997 season was a tremendous success for
me and left me longing for more. After a few
years of intense professional focus I started
racing again in 2007. In 2008, I competed
successfully in the Mid Atlantic series
sanctioned by CCS/ASRA. In 2009 I was
fortunate to be able to race the entire season
in the CCS Mid Atlantic region with great
overall success. I carried over from a
successful season in 2009 and moved up to
Expert Ranks in 2010 for a full season of
competition, finishing my first expert season
with four regional championships.
I am happily married with one daughter. I
presently live in Northern New Jersey where I
work full time as an Electronic Engineer
repairing Scanning Electron Microscopes.
