I was hesitant to share this, but I've ignored my struggles long enough. March 2024, I was a victim of domestic violence. I let someone I loved hurt me and never should have. The progress I have made the past couple years has been a blessing. I struggled being in and out of the hospital 4 times in 24. 2 times in 2025. From not being able to walk for almost 3 months and losing my two jobs to walking up to 9 miles a day is a huge accomplishment. Things are finally looking up, and I can't wait to see what the future has in store for me. Might have been down but never out. 📸 of my gains by @starfishmel303

Incredibly grateful to be a part of the HeyNow crew. @heynowmoto

Lisa @l_capaldo_halbert has been the rock running these events with us the past 2 seasons. Great teamwork, amazing dedication, and excellent charisma. Always making sure our crew is prepared to provide the best safety we can for our riders. No one else I'd rather work alongside. She's even stepped in and helped me with Start/Finish for the MRA. Thank you for everything. I'm extremely grateful and fortunate to have you. I love you 💚 taken in Grand Junction Motor Speedway by @starfishmel303

What an epic way to end the season with the Blues Angels after a race day!! Thank you Michael @heynowmoto for having me as start/finish the last 2 seasons. No place I'd rather be. Thank you Lisa and Audrey @audrey.halbert of @longmonttirecompany for all of their help with the race day. I truly appreciate both of you. Especially Lisa @l_capaldo_halbert for being the best teammate I could ask for. Thank you Trevor and Ashley for all of your help. I love watching both of you race. @trevorhuntsman @ashley_edwards698 taken in Grand Junction Motor Speedway by @starfishmel303

For someone who didn't want to be on social media, I convinced myself to keep reaching as many motorcycle riders and racers as possible. Thank you to every one of you helping me grow my page. Wild to think I almost reached 12k views in one month 😮 by @starfishmel303
