My moment of terrain domination came back in December 2009. That April, my mother passed away from an instant heart attack. At the time, I was a freshman at college supporting myself financially and basically left alone after her passing. I have been riding nothing but Indy’s since I was three years old. My first sled I bought was a 1999 Polaris Indy XC 700. Snowmobiling was the only thing that allowed me to leave every worry behind. At such a young age, it really hit me hard being on my own. I had to sell my snowmobile that year to help pay for expenses of my mother’s as well as mine. The moment of domination I experienced was on my last ride and thinking about all the good memories my mom and I shared. I still have not dominated the terrain since but I am worthy because I represent what a pure Polaris rider is all about and have done so with class. My mother would want me to keep riding but my priorities are holding me back. Let me show the world what true Indy rider is all about.
