Hailing from Millersburg, OH and riding the 2006 Yamaha YFZ450 Brandon is taking on the Four-Stroke A Class again in the 2006 GNCC series. He is also running in the AWRCS series in the A Class and competing in many other local events.

After just over two years, Brandon looks to have a strong future in cross-country racing. "I need to learn everything. No matter how good you ever become you can always learn more." stated Brandon when asked what he still needs to learn to compete at the higher level.

Training and nutrition has played a big role in his off-season conditioning. "I really stepped up my training over the winter. My nutrition has become better. During the the season I try to stay in shape by riding and racing threeto four times per week. And biking or running all the other days.

When asked his feelings about 2005 Brandon remarked "It went great! I gave it everything I had at all the races. I had a really bad race at The Wisp in McHenry, MD but learned a lot from it and I am glad it happened in the end. So all in all it was awesome because I had a blast and can honestly say I gave it my all."

Brandon's future is bright and AEM is confident we will see a lot of him in the future of cross-country racing!
