I was born in Manchester N.H. and lived in Maine until 12. My family has a long history in the sport of snowmobiling. It started in the late sixty's with my grandfather. When I moved to California in the late 80's snowmobiling was of course not an option so I took up snowboarding, dirt bikes, recreational riding and racing in both enduro and motocross. After high school I moved back to Maine and started racing the grass drags around New England. That led to ice drags and then to the Wyman where I finished third in the open mod class. I also raced in the Rock Maple Series in Unity, Bingham, and Jackman. 

     Every year I got more and more back to my roots in trail riding. but it didn't take long before I found my true passion for cross country touring, logging more than 82,000 miles in the last 8 years alone. Touring all 13 regions of Quebec, Western Ontario, New Brunswick, Maine, New Hampshire and of course Labrador. In the last few years I have taken up off trail and bush riding mostly early and late in the season. I was lucky enough to ride in 7 calendar months last year.  

     I have taken many people with me over the years and one of two things happens they either never go with me again, or they get hooked on my passion for the sport and start planning the next adventure.

     I live in Mercer with my supporting wife Tina who rides as well.  We own and operate Creative Paint Concepts Inc. located in the mid coast, along with The Ice Cream Shoppee located in central Maine. We are both very faithful Ski Doo riders. 

     My goals for this race are both personal and the goodwill for a great cause. I have only known Dana, Rich and Todd just a few years but have all the faith in both in my field race partner and very talented team managers, as well as my abilities. With the added support of the Milley's we plan to be a very competitive team in this event. Our experience from the last 2 years will be a big asset to Team Maine in this years race.
