SALES / TECHNICAL SUPPORT

 
 
 

I grew up in Central New Jersey riding dirt-bikes every weekend at local tracks in NJ, PA, and NY. I attended college in PA and graduated with a degree in business. After 2 years of working in NJ and NY I packed my car and drove West, ultimately settling in Bend, Oregon. I met my Fiancé and together we raise two adorable red nose pit bulls. I was fortunate enough to start with the Kreft Moto crew two years ago and spend my time riding with my colleagues and fiancé. 

From a young age motorcycle’s have consumed my life. I wore out every VHS available, watched every race, and read every magazine. It was always a dream to work in the industry, but not surprisingly it was difficult to break into. I interned for a well-known company out of college and caught a break when Kreft Moto moved their headquarters to Bend, OR.  Being immersed in two wheels day in and day out with a group that shares my love for this has been a truly rewarding experience. 

FAVORITE RIDING area:

At this point in my riding career, track days are over. I am fortunate to have a Fiancé that shares a similar passion for two wheels. We enjoy getting out and riding all the single-track Oregon has to offer.
