After 5 years on my 2006 Yamaha R1; I was thrilled when Jeremy Toye offered support for 2014. Although it meant switching to a ZX10; he offered the final piece of the puzzle for taking my skills/program to the next level.
After 5 years my R1 has netted me 4 Class Championships and 36 podiums. I am beyond excited to see where the new adventure shall take me under the guidance of such a profound talent as Jeremy and his crew chief/mechanic Jody.
Of course, Cousin Matty will be by my side to keep my head on straight! I would not be where I am without his help.
Graves Motorsports is supplying some phenomal exhaust systems for the Kawi too! "best exhaust we've seen for this bike" -Quinton of Lee's Cycle
Got my FIRST CLASS WIN on this bike (May 2015, LVMS) & set new PB lap times all over!!! Most notable; 1:32.5 at ACS for 5th in Superbike

Finally had the means to purchase my dream bike; a Superstock build by Graves Motorsports; in 2017.
2016 thru 2018 were filled with setbacks.
Feb 2016, first street crash; hit hard, numerous fractured vertebrae & narrowly avoided being paralyzed!
May 2017, went to ACS for the first ride & fell down in some idiots oil during the out lap of my last session of the last day I was riding my brand new race bike!!!! Broke my right c'bone, lost 8h of memory & nearly the whole summer :-/
June 2018: had my trailer loaded to go race at Buttonwillow when it was stolen out of my driveway 😠
Thank GOD the dream bike was NOT in it but they took EVERYTHING. Tools, Genny, 3 suits, 2 helmets, boots, gear bag, spare parts, spare tires; canopy, EVERYTHING!!!
I was burned again when my insurance (which I explicitly made sure it would cover the trailer & contents if stolen while on the road) would NOT cover anything bc it was stolen from the driveway. I didn't yet have renters insurance.
