Quick n Dirty Mountain Bike Racing (San Diego county and Las Vegas)
What sport do/did you compete in? And why are you passionate about it?
I started my Athletic career as a jet ski racer, my career started in 1987 my last racing season was 2004. I won eight national and world championships and traveled all around the world. I was passionate in JetSki racing because I love the lifestyle and the challenge it gave me, with that said, I have taken what I've learned from jet ski racing and applied it to a local grassroots racing organization called Quick n Dirty MTB. Since I was in the cycling industry, I decided to take up cycling myself. With that said, I won seven national championships in cyclcross, mountain biking, and Gravel. At age 58, I'm still out, challenging myself and staying young.
How long have you been Hammering?
I met Brian Frank in 2012. He sent me some products to try, and I've been using Hammer Nutrition ever since—and only Hammer Nutrition. I swear by the product, and it has helped me win every championship.
How long has your event partnered with Hammer?
11 years, and I haven’t used any other brand. Because of it, the greater SoCal cycling community has grown as well.
What are your go-to Hammer products?
My favorite is one scoop of HEED and two scoops of Perpetuem together (in a tall bottle), and I crave Recoverite after every ride.
Why do you continue to partner with Hammer to fuel your events?
That's a simple question because it's the BEST! Not only are the products the best, but the way Hammer runs their business. They support local racing and local shops, which is unheard of nowadays.
Favorite memory as a Race Director?
Too many to list, but I do remember taking Brian Frank on a Moto ride before one of our races at the SageBrush Safari and seeing his smile while ripping some loamy corners!
