I have quite a few but I would guess that there are 2 that stick out in my mind. The first is a lot more than a moment because it consisted of about 5 weeks but it was 5 weeks that changed my life forever. In 2001 I decided to, all by myself, drive across the country and do the western swing. I drove to the Dallas National, then to the Las Vegas National, Divisional, and then to the Finals at Pomona. Along the way I made some great friends, had some great experiences, and ended up starting a relationship with a friend who would eventually be my wife, Kati. So many key things happened along that trip that changed my life, not just for me but for everyone in my family. It is so hard to believe how one decision can change so many peoples lives.

The second thing was the next year when I won the Cecil Points race. I had won other races before but this was a race that is 35 minutes from my house and everyone was there. For the first time, I won a race that my father was able to stay til the end, my wife, my best friend. It was a great day.
