The NMA Competition Committee consists of 5 members. The Race Chairman schedules and directs Committee meeting's, answers questions pertaining to the official NMA Rule Book, and reports to the NMA Board the Competition Committee's actions and series status.
The NMA Points Keeper tallies the results from events submitted by NMA Clubs, maintains the NMA License Holder roster, and process's NMA License Holder cards and information.
Typically, the Competition Committe meets monthly to discuss competition business.

About Me: I am 50 years old, married and have 2 children. I Graduated from Snohomish High School in 1978, attended Shoreline Community College, and joined the US Air Force from 1980 – 1984. Currently I have a flooring business, which I have been involved with since 1984. My flooring business usually keeps me busy, which means I have money for dirt bike parts!
My first bike: I started riding in 1969, and rode a Honda 50 motor scooter, which my dad had purchased for my mother. The first time I rode it was at Stampede Pass WA. In those days you could ride a motorcycle anywhere, and ORV tabs had not been thought of yet! I guess this dates me a bit…
My Riding Experience: I have ridden many places in Washington and a few places in other states; Arizona, California, Idaho, Oregon and Canada. I love hill climbs and as a kid loved to ride the Coal Piles in Cle Elum WA. My most favorite riding is in the mountains on skinny trails with a handful of riding buddies.
My Favorite Quote: “When in Doubt, Twist the Grip” Most of the time this saying works unless you wait too long to react!
Why I became a Competition Committee Member: I became a Competition Committee Member mostly to maintain the race points for the Enduro Series and Off Road Series. Since becoming a Committee Member, I have become more involved with the Committee’s accomplishments, which at times consumes a lot of free time!
I’d also like to say: Most people think their actions; behavior or ideas do not matter or make a difference. That is wrong. It takes one idiot to ruin it for everyone. Anyone can make a difference if they try. If one person writes a legislator about a problem, the impact is small. If 100 people write the same legislator about the same issue, it gets their attention.
