Where are you from? I'm from McDonough Ga 30 minutes south of Atlanta.

How did you get the name Mr650? I raced motocross for 9 years and the number on my bike was 650 so thats how it developed.

Tell us about your motocross days and how this influenced you into filming? I was racing every weekend, running 10 miles a week and in the gym 4 days a week. When that ended for me I had all this focus but no were to put it so I picked up a camera and put that focus into making videos.

Did you go to school to learn how to shoot and edit videos? I couldn't afford art school so I went to community college to get some kind of degree but dropped out because I couldn't pass English ll.
