Spencer Kauffman: Interview

 

At the last couple of races AZDirt has been at, we have been watching the highly stacked Jr. Class and one of the kids who has been on fire is Spencer Kauffman. He has been taking home wins left and right.  I knew I had to find him and get the down low on him and his plans. I was able to catch up with Spencer and his Dad after the Payson race; this is was what I was able to get out of the both of them.

So give me a run down?

My name is Spencer Kauffman, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Fountain Hills, Arizona.  I ride the 125 Jr and School Boy class on the number 142 Yamaha.

You have been on fire in the Jr. Class lately, what is your racing past been like?

I have been on a big bike since the beginning of the last Summer.  Before that I was on an 85 and won some beginner races and was moved up to age after that.

Wait how long have you been riding?

I have only been riding for about 4 years now.

That’s cool.  So do you train?  What is your schedule like for riding and training?

I do a lot of in-the-gym work and I have a track right at my house that I use a lot.

You did World Mini recently.  How did you do up there?

I crashed a lot, but I think I ended up 12th overall in Jr.

What are your plans for the rest of the year?

First, probably move up to 125 Int. after the last CMC Copperstate Classic.  Also, we have a house up in Colorado and I think we are going to be up there for a while training and riding.

Intermediate huh?

Yup!

So this is more than a weekend adventure for you?

Ya, I would really like to go pro some day and try to make something out of it.

Who helps you out with everything?

Well I do all my bike work and my Dad brings me to the races and helps me with my gate and everything.

Well, it sounds like you are on the right track here!  I would say Good Luck but I don’t think you will need it.

Thanks!

Kyle Dearing: Interview

If you haven’t met little Kyle Dearing yet, which pretty much everyone has, as he makes his presence known on and off the track. Kyle is taking a step back this year from being so serious with all the sponsors and the racing drama to see if it will help him take off the stress. So far it seems to be working as he is leading the series in all of his classes in the CMC Copperstate Classic. We were able to catch up with Kyle for an interview and this is what we were able to get out of him.

So give me a rundown?
My name is Kyle Dearing, I’m 10 years old, my number is 99, and I live in Litchfield Park, Arizona.

What classes do you ride?
I ride 65 10-11 mod and stock.

Have you hit up any nationals this year?
Yes, we did World Mini and Amateur Open.

How did that go?
In my run offs I finished 15th in 65 10-11 Stock, 18th 65 10-11 Mod, and 21st 65 Open at World Mini. I took a 6th and 9th at Amateur Open.

Do you plan on doing any more nationals?
I wish I could, but right now it just doesn’t look like we will be able to.

So how has the series been so far?
Pretty good. I’m leading all my classes and I hope to take the overall tonight.

What are your plans to do with your prizes when you win?
I hope I win two bicycles so I can go trade them in for one really good one.

So it sounds like you have it all figured out?
Yup!

What if they don’t give you a bicycle and its something else?
I don’t know what I’ll do, but I know I would be really bummed!

Thanks Kyle for the interview, anything you would like to thank?
I want to thank my Mom and Dad; they do so much for me along with my Grandpa. He helps me with everything too. Bill Shugg, Dearing Trucking, TSR Contracting, Bent Clothing, AZDirt.com, and all of my other sponsors that I can’t remember right now thank you so much.

Customer service is something that interests and concerns the entire company, not just employees. Our focus is to build an atmosphere of satisfaction and comfort at every step of the way. This will enhance employee happiness, our customers’ satisfaction and ultimately our stockholders’ financial success.

I feel strongly that we need to be a leader in providing great customer service. The company’s vision and values make that goal difficult to achieve. There is no one single way to solve the problem of customer service. But I believe we must do better.

Our culture must support that. Our customer service process has always emphasized communication, problem solving and customer empowerment. We’ve always made sure to use the best customer service solutions from companies like Salesforce.

I believe the goal of customer service is to eliminate the barriers to the customer. We will always provide a customer-centric experience and the right thing at the right time.

I will make customer service a priority as a member of the board. I will focus on solving problems, instead of just focusing on solutions. If you want an individual who cares about the customer, be sure to join the board. I will make a commitment to continuously improve our customer experience through learning, collaboration and learning from our past and current customers. And I will hold myself accountable for our products and services to provide our customers with an exceptional experience. I will use technology and business insights to drive my thinking and to identify the right business opportunities for the company. This will be a long term commitment, but I believe that it is a good thing to make that commitment. I believe that our customers deserve the best experience they can find, and it is important that we do everything we can to give them that. That’s what our company is all about. I will continue to be a steward of our legacy. The reason I came here is because I love this company. This company has always valued the hard work of its team members. We have always valued the passion and dedication of our people. That won’t change. But I do believe we can do better than our past. So I am committed to that. And I have started the work to do just that. I will report back to you with details of how that is going to be accomplished. Thanks. This concludes today’s meeting. Thank you very much, and I look forward to continuing our conversations in the months to come.

Online retail is a booming business as customers become increasingly impatient and impatient for their favorite brand’s products. Specially now that customes are able to find thousands of online coupons. Check here for more information.

However, not all products are made equal when it comes to convenience.

The retail sector is a market in its own right and needs to be controlled, with a certain balance between competition and monopolization. As a result, an anti-monopoly law exists to prevent such behavior, as discussed above in Chapter 5. However, it must be noted that one thing a monopolist cannot monopolize is consumers. Consumers have the right to choose among different brands of goods and services and there is no right to the convenience offered by the retail market. The retailers’ position is entirely dependent on the value of the products offered by the stores.

In a world where many things are made by many different companies, the number of opportunities for monopolistic competition is immense. In a competitive market, it is the companies that have the higher value of their goods and services that offer the best prices.

In short, the purpose of a law is to prevent predatory and monopolistic behavior on the part of individuals who, for one reason or another, choose to engage in it. However, a law may also accomplish other goals. One example would be to protect the interest of entrepreneurs in their businesses by forcing them to spend a portion of their profits on advertising and research. There is a difference between protecting a specific interest (such as protecting the interests of entrepreneurs in their business) and a broader interest. One could argue that restricting an entrepreneur’s right to run a business is a broader policy goal than protecting their interest in running a business. But a more important reason to enact a law that would protect the interest of entrepreneurs in their business may be to protect the future of their businesses. What if an entrepreneur decides not to run a business? The question arises whether the entrepreneur is entitled to a “right to continue to own” the business even if that is against the wishes of the majority of its shareholders. To answer this question, one must examine the nature of an owner’s rights as a “shareholder.” Is the owner of a corporation entitled to the rights and duties associated with a “shareholder”? According to the shareholder’s relationship with the corporation, his rights are those of a member of the ownership group. The rights and duties of a “shareholder” are the same as those of a member of the ownership group. Thus, it is not an ownership relationship that exists between the shareholder and the corporation. Instead, a “shareholder” is a person who has received a share of “economic income.” To gain a “share” of economic income, a person must be a member of a “holding corporation.” A “holding corporation” is a corporation organized and operated by a member of a “holding partnership,” a partner in a “holding corporation,” or an “owner-holder” of a “share” of “economic income” received by a corporation by virtue of the membership of such person. See section 857(2)(C).

Ryan Mortensen: Interview

The man behind it all is what his title reads for his photo, which serves him right. From having a long racing history and now being on both sides of the fence. Ryan has a lot of work to do from running Motoxriders.net to still making it to the line for his 25+ Pro moto, to provide for his family and spreading the word of God wherever he goes. At the last round of the CMC Copperstate I was able to talk with Motoxriders.net’s very own Ryan Mortensen. I was able to get him away from all of his duties he does on his weekend racing, so check it out. Words / Photos: AW

Hows everything going for you tonight?

Good, Real Good.

Hows the track shaping up for you?

It’s shaping up real good, except for me I’m a little tired. Out of shape a little bit.

Hows Motoxriders.net been?

Good, just been trying to hit up all the AZ tracks and spread God’s word.

I see you have a both set up?

Yes, the kids are digging it and hopefully have someone take home a bible back to their family and spread God’s word.

Do you ever want to take Motoxriders.net nationally?

No there are already enough organizations out there doing that, I really want to stay local AZ. I really like the local seen.

How long have you been doing Motoxriders.net?

3 Years now.

Not too many people know but you been around motocross for along time?

Since 1983 when I took home my first trophy, so I have been doing it for a little while.

Can you gives us a run down of what your career has been like in racing motocross?

Turned Pro in 1998 and stayed a local pro mainly since then. I tried some out door nationals and really found my spot in four stroke nationals for a while. I was able to earn national number 17 in 2000 for the four stroke nationals.

What’s your biggest accomplishment in life up to this point looking back on it all?

My beautiful Wife Larissa and my Son Luke.

How old are you now?

I turn 30 on May 26.

What Class are you running tonight?

25+ Pro, I’am just out here to have a fun time tonight and get a moto in.

Words to live by?

Do nothing for selfish reasons, but be humble and consider others better than yourself.

Can you give me a list of who you would like to thank?

First of course, I want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because he makes it all possible. I have a lot of support this year in my racing efforts, I would like to thank: Kawasaki Superstore, Answer Racing, Motoworks Racing Suspension, LeoVince, Scott USA, Amsoil, ASV, Factory Effex, SDG, Bridgestone, Regina Chains, Gaerne, Acerbis, Hinson, Works Connection, and HRP Sports.
