My History
The Moto Chap
As a former BEMSEE and WMRRA Sport Bike Racer, Chris understands the passion for speed, but more importantly the need for training. Chris has trained racers and professional riders and drivers he has even trained our own Washington State Motor officers.
Chris spent over 15 years driving CDL/HGV trucks/lorries in mainland Europe, the UK and the USA. This lead him to become a driver trainer and curriculum developer for Heavy Goods trucks. After moving to the USA Chris became a CDL driver for Hertz Heavy Equipment and spent 3 years moving large heavy equipment around the NW before starting WMST.
Washington Motorcycle Safety Training (WMST) was founded in 2009 by Chris because he had lost too many close friends. Chris wanted no one else to feel the pain those families have. WMST has since become one of the largest training centers in the State.
Chris is the developer of serval motorcycle curriculum which include the successful ON Street Course, More Cornering, the Kickstart course and the Top 3 Wheel in partnership with Can-Am

Go WMST Drive ( Go
Washington Motorist Safety Training) was started a few years later with the goal of improving the quality of new driver training in Washington State
WMST
WMST was started by me in 2009. It was started for I have lost to many close friends to road safety and I wanted no one else to feel the pain those families have.
I moved to the USA in 2005 and found the training to be light compared to what I had received in the UK and therefore decided to do something about it.
