I first put a leg over a motorcycle at the age of 5 at a neighbor's cottage and the need for speed was immediately discovered. After riding anything that was motorized or had wheels it was clear that testing the limits of man and machine was deeply embedded in me.

After over 20 years of riding experience on and off road, I attended the FAST Riding School in May of 2006. In the spring of 2007 I joined the R.A.C.E. Super Series as well as Parts Canada National Series "SV650 Cup" to compete as an amateur motorcycle racer.

They're have been some ups and downs since then but the sport has been good to me. It has given me years of fun and loads of memories, not to mention great friends.

I'd like to thank my sponsors, supporters and mostly my wife for giving me the drive to chase my dream.

Having grown up in the land of the rising sun riding motorcycles is second nature to me. Bikes were always around at home. My entire family rides, dad has restored several bikes including a 1969 Triumph 750 and a 1974 Honda Dax (ST50).

I worked with friends on a 125 cc GP team in Japan prior to moving to Canada and it wasn't long until I was back at the track here in Canada. After Supporting Rob in his first year of racing, being at each National and Regional weekend throughout 2007 I learned the "ins-and-outs" of racing. It wasn't long until I wanted a taste of speed myself. I attended the FAST racing school in August of 2007, some track days followed and there was no looking back. 

 

See you at the track!
