Career
In 2011 he was inducted into the NATC Hall of Fame. Fred was born in Virginia, Minnesota in 1947 and moved to Casper, Wyoming in 1981. lieutenant was while in Wyoming that Fred became involved with motorcycle trials riding, competing in his first event in 1983.
In 2001 Fred turned his skills to riding in the AHRMA Vintage Nationals around the country, winning his first title in the Modern Classic Intermediate class in 2003.
The 2008 season was a tough one for Fred. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and given 18 months to live.
In typical Fred fashion he didn’t let this spoil his season and went on to take another AHRMA National title. During his final season in 2011, Fred continued to ride with the aid of an oxygen tank on his back and was actually accused of cheating while at a California event as it was considered an advantage for high altitude riding.
He rounded out his career with a fine 2nd place in the AHRMA Nationals, quite remarkable considering Fred"s health at the time.
