Personal History
It all started when I was 7 years old when I got my first bike, through the years I was not all that fast but when I got onto an 85 when I was 9 I started winning races. When I turned 11 I won the Motokazie supercross championship in the 7-11 class. I moved to big bikes young, when I was 12. I rode C class for one year and ended up winning a couple races and being pushed up to the B class at the age of 13. I won my first B race ever and ended up getting multiple Minnesota Motokazie championships along with the Chasing the Dream Award (an award going to the most dedicated rider of the year) and gold and silver awards for racking up the most points in a single year. I attempted Loretta Lynn Qualifiers but ended up separating my shoulder while sitting in 6th place at the Regional in Illinois. At the age of 17 I moved to the A class, racing few races but doing much better than expected. My best finish was at the Viking Clash in Millville Minnesota, I got a 10th overall for the day with a crash and ended up earning 15 pro-am points. I raced Arenacross this passed year as well with making the night show in Minneapolis only to crash in the heat and not make it through the LCQ. This year unfortunately started tragically as I was involved in an accident in Kansas claiming 5 of my best friends. I came out of it with a collapsed lung, a severely torn deltoid muscle, a concussion, ten stitches in my head, and half my body covered in road rash. I am currently on my road to recovery, training and riding as much as possible. I am now 18 years old and I live in Chaska MN, which is about 30 minutes out of the cities.
Riding Goals
As far as the future goes i am currently training to get my pro license and race the Millville national this year. I would like to try my hand at some more nationals as well along with supercross and more arenacross. I intend on doing as much riding as possible this year because i feel i can make it happen, I have the speed and the ability to race to my full potential and I am going to try my hardest to get to where i want to be.
