Personal History
About Me
I have been on the back of a bike since I was 6 months old and began riding my own quad at 3. I am 14 and I’m in eighth grade at Moniteau High School. I live in a rural town in Western Pennsylvania with my mom, dad, two older brothers, younger brother, and little sister. I own a 2012 Yamaha Raptor, which is my dedicated racing quad, and 2008 Yamaha Raptor 250, which I use as my practice quad.
My entire family rides either quads, dirt bikes, or both. It is a lifestyle we all enjoy. I have a large family that is always there to support one another. My mom helps keep the gear ready and is the cheering section along with my baby sister. My dad is my mechanic, pit crew, and biggest supporter. My little brother, Lukas is also a big help in keeping my quad running throughout the season and encouraging me to push harder each time as we both race the same series. My dad also races in the series and we often will race Adult Buddy Class together.
Riding is my passion and an activity I do as often as possible. We have many trails we ride by our house and are always adding on new trails. My dad, brother, and I are always seeking opportunities to practice and improve our skills.
Riding Goals
My goal for this year is to place in the top 5 for the QXC Youth 300cc modified. I also want to place in the top 10 overall for youth class. I want to continue to get out and improve my ability as a rider. Each time I go out I push to go faster, ride better, and have fun doing what I love.
My goal for next year is to continue in the QXC youth 300CC modified class and place in the top 10.
