PROFESSIONAL OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLE RACER
Mission Statement
Competing professionally in the Grand National Cross Country Series has become an expensive commitment. We would like to offer the opportunity for companies to share in the great success motorsports can bring. The benefits of becoming a sponsor is an important part in the public relations work of enterprises today. As an additional advertisement media, it offers premium corporate name/brand awareness from onsite exposure, aids in the development and cultivation of a positive image and motivates the company's employees.
We are seeking to develop an integrated partnership opportunities with corporate entities to help assist with travel and running costs. In order for your engagement not to be wasted, I would make sure your business logo and/or product is displayed prominently on my riding gear, bikes, support vehicles, website, etc. There will be opportunities to execute on-site promotions, distribute product samples and fan interaction in the pit area. Also, my media exposure has continued to grow yearly and has produced unprecedented attention. I have been the subject of feature stories in Trail Rider Magazine and GeorgiaOffRoad.com. As with all media venues, your Company/product would be mentioned during interviews and autograph signing sessions. In essence, if you make the commitment to me, I promise to uphold your company's positive image.

Future Plans and Goals
For the '08 season my plans are to race either the GNCC series, the OMA series or the National Enduro series at the very top level. I will be moving up from the XC-2 class to the XC-1 class and riding a 450 in which I feel will better suit my riding style. While competing in these premier series, I will continue to maintain a positive and friendly attitude all the while promoting my sponsors. . My goal is to expand my racing program to give me the necessary tools to compete for a national championship.
