Early career

Henry was born in Milford, Connecticut and grew up on his parents farm in the White Hills section of Shelton, CT. The rural area with extensive winding dirt roads was conducive to him learning the sport he would master. He attended Shelton High School. Henry had his first major success in 1993 as a member of Team Honda, where he claimed the 125 East Supercross and the 125 National Championship. He now has partial paralysis from the waist down, and is working very hard toward yet another recovery.

Henry was filmed on September 14, 2009, riding a custom YZ450F and a custom FX Nytro during winter. Henry raced at Winter X-Games 14, in the "Adaptive Snowmobile" class. He took third place.
