KTM One Year Anniversary

Believe it or not, I celebrated my one-year anniversary at KTM. And, what a year it's been. From making the decision to move to Ohio, to making that decision all over again when I was relocated to California. Tracy and I have been presented with a lot of stressful decisions during my time at KTM, but we are glad we have made the ones we have.

In the last year, we went from hardly seeing each other to living together. What a difference a year makes. Living together is neat.

During that year, I've learned a lot at my new job regarding marketing strategies and keeping yourself valuable during rough economic times. It's been quite the year. I could have never imagined that my house would STILL be on the market right now too! Oh well, I'm scraping along and times will get better. I keep telling myself my house will sell ... just a matter of time. That hour glass will have to run out eventually.

KTM has been a great opportunity and it's a really fun company to work for. Everyone is passionate about the industry at KTM and we don't just work in the industry we live it. As an example, after racing last weekend and riding at a media event in the mountains on Wednesday this week on an ATV, today I hit up the motocross track and spun some laps on two wheels for a change. We are always living the sport out here, and it's much better than Ohio. The nice weather doesn't hurt either.

On Sunday Tracy gets to meet her friend Amber who is in town for dinner while I head up to Glen Helen for the opening ATV National race to represent KTM. Race weekends will start to slow down soon, just in time for Katie and John's visit and Tracy's family for Easter weekend!
