Personal History
I've been riding since I was five years old. I absolutely love to ride! I've been on many types and sizes of dirt bikes but I am currently riding a 2017 KTM 450SXF and a 2017 KTM 250SXF. My previous bikes were a 2015 250 XC and a 2014 KTM 300 XC. I really enjoy getting out and meeting other riders, experiencing new trails and tracks and meeting people that are involved in the sport.
I started racing some motocross in 2014 and hare scrambles in 2015. In 2015, I raced in the North Carolina Hare Scramble (NCHSA), Mid East Racing, and Grand National Cross Country (GNCC). In all the NCHSA races I was in during 2015, I placed 1st-4th place. In 2016, I moved up from the Lt 12-15 class to the 250 B class. I ended up with a 2nd place overall finish for the year. For 2017, I've competed in a few hare scrambles but decided to get back into doing more motocross. I've always wanted to try and make it to Loretta Lynn's so in May 2017, I set a goal to do that and signed up to compete in an Area Qualifier in VA. I was able to place 7th overall, and went to PA to compete in a Regional Qualifier where I placed 6th overall. I competed in the LL National and did fairly well my first moto but in the last two motos, I crashed so my overall finish wasn't the greatest.
My hobbies are competition and non-competition riding with friends, practicing as much as I can so that I can continue to get better, watching practice and racing videos of other riders, working out, fishing, swimming and hanging with friends.
