History:
Back in my junior year of college, I was faced with a seeminly simple question....
"What do I do with my tax return check? Do I buy a bike or do I want to put air ride suspension on my truck?"
Pretty easy decision when I look back now, but at the time it was a little tough. Given the fact I've never rode motorcycles in my life (dirt, sport, or anything else), and the most experience I've had was riding an old beaten Honda 185 three wheeler through the fields back home in Indiana, I was kinda leaning toward the air bag option. Luckily, I had two excellent roommates, Niner and Timmy, to persuede me in the decision making process and a couple days later I had my very first bike, a Yamaha YZF-750.
It didn't take long and a few months later we were riding through the streets of Flint, MI and I saw this guy, Shifty, do about a mile long spreader. I was dumbfounded and couldn't believe my eyes. I wanted to know more about this whole stunt thing. Sure enough a few squidly crashes later I was well on my way to becoming a dedicated stunt rider.
It blows my mind to see how far I've came in only a short span of a couple years. I went from that squidly little newbie to a full blown international competing stunt rider. Teaming up with Scott to form SB Stunts was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. Between our quick learning abilities on a bike, our individual style and our scholarly background, we uphold a high level of professional and exciting entertainment at all the shows we perform. We are dedicated and focused to see this sport hit the mainstream and when it does we plan on being at the top.

History:
Growing up I always had a knack for finding danger, whether it be on the BMX course, on a skateboard, or on a dirt bike I always loved an adrenalin rush. I was finally able to get my first street bike at the age of 21; it was a sweet Honda CBR F3. My friend showed me my first stunt video, FTP2, and I instantly fell in love with what I saw. I went through a few more bikes and finally graduated college, and then actually started stunt riding a Honda crf50 for fun with my friends. I decided it was time to step up and stunt a real sport bike.
As I began to quickly increase my skill level and become more addicted to honing my skills on the bike, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to ride with many talented riders in the Detroit area like the Critical Mass and Altered Minds stunt teams. I then stepped up to a nice Honda CBR f4i to stunt and have never looked back. Josh Borne and I ended up joining forces and between the two of us we have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to do shows and competitions across the United States and even the world. I pride myself on portraying a professional attitude while still having fun on the bike, I have also dedicated all of my free time outside of work to continue to help push the sport of freestyle sport bike stunt riding in a positive direction.
