I've been blessed to find what I like at the age of 12, I found something that made me feel alive & stoked & I can truely say bike riding has saved my life & continues to. See when I started riding it was totally for the way it made me feel, before riding I really didn't feel to alive or stoked on anything, I was searching & somehow ended up on a bike. Growing up with a lot of problems, like anger, doubt, fear & negative thoughts I needed something, my parents got divorced when I was around 6 or 7, I really don't remember, but I do remember wanting my dad back. That never happened & my family values went out the door with him. Times were tough straight up, I was born & raised in Kansas City, Missouri in a lower middle class family trying to survive the only way we knew how, I remember shoveling snow on days off of school to help buy food, my mother always worked, she worked hard in a factory, I respect her, she never gave up & I learned from her to be a hard worker & sweat it out. Money can't buy attitude that's for sure & I'm not from money, I've worked hard for the things I own, people only see me now but have no idea how hard things have been for me to get there. "Blood...Gutts...Thunder."
