Personal History
I am a 21 year old from West Michigan and first started riding ATVs when I was 4
and first got into racing at age 15. I raced my first two years doing the local fair circuit.
My third year I started to race the Michigan ATV State Championship Series and the
D14 - All Events ATV Series and fell in love with the bigger tracks. I had high hopes for
making the jump to B class for the 2020 season but as if 2020 couldn’t create enough
roadblocks and frustration for everyone, it also washed my entire race season. I ended
up chasing motor problems all year and never made it out on the track for a single race.
However, there is always a silver lining. My mechanic and I decided to take our time this
summer to go completely through the machine to get ready for 2021 rather than just
rushing the process, only to have something else fail. I plan on racing several locals in
the 2021 season but also starting to focus on nationals pretty heavily. Next year is
looking much more promising!
2007 Honda TRX450 (Local/National Bike)
2009 KTM SX505 (National Bike)
2018 Yamaha YFZ450 (Back-up Bike)
