Dean first started racing BMX way back in 1981. With the money earned from a paper route in Marion, Indiana, he bought and built his very own SE Racing "Basher" piece by piece.
He raced the old Beginner class at the now defunct "Moto Mountain" in Anderson, Indiana. He turned Novice and joined the NBL in 1982 and raced with the plate number 85K.
Dean's son, Josh, now carries on the racing gene in the 7 Rookie class. Look for Josh and Dean at local, state and regional races.
Josh races a Mini-Ripper with plate number 902.
