Profile Racing Sales Manager, Matt Coplon announced the hiring of Chris Fernandez as BMX Race sales representative today. Chris is not new to Profile Racing. He’s been on the Profile Racing Factory Team for the last 7 race seasons.
Coplon said, “I think Chris will be a great asset to Profile. We’ve needed help in the sales department for awhile now and it’s a perfect time for Chris to come aboard.”

Chris is a past Florida State Champion, President Cup Champion and top 5 SuperClass/A-Pro racer. His season and quest to the Elite Class ended abruptly mid-January of this year when he blew out his knee practicing. His doctor, John Moor says he’s has another 5-months to go before he can compete on the track again but was given the go ahead last Friday to perform light jogging runs on firm ground. This is just 6-weeks after major ACL/MCL replacement surgery and Meniscus repair to his left knee.

Chris commented on his new position saying, “I’m real happy to be here and I feel I’m already making a contribution to the sales team. This is a real positive direction for me as this job fits perfectly with my goals to represent Profile Racing, on the track as well as off the track.” When asked about his hiatus from racing he replied, “It’s driving me nuts. I want to race so badly. The only thing keeping me going is being around Matt and all the great people at Profile and knowing I’ll be back on the track in a few months.” Chris went on to say that he appreciates the opportunity that Profile Racing owner, Jim Alley gave him.
