Personal History
I'm not your average 12 year old boy. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to take things apart and put them back together. I built my own playhouse in my backyard out of scraps I could gather. I installed electricity and a wood stove inside.
I love diesel trucks, motorcycles, dirtbikes, ski boats and skateboards/scooters. Basically anything with wheels and/or a motor. My parents and grandparents bought me my 1st dirtbike for my 6th birthday. Over the last 6 years, I have owned 4 different dirtbikes. I used my dad's tractor (by myself) to create a track in our field to practice.
My other hobby is fishing.
Riding Goals
I have tried many other sports and motocross is my passion. I enjoy the thrill of riding and have developed some awesome friendships with other racers.
I just started riding a KTM 85 and want to grow this year to move up to the junior and intermediate motos. Every race I complete, my goal is to place higher than I did last time until I hit that 1st place spot! I work with a professional trainer periodically to critique technique.
Competitive Highlights
I have only completed 2 races so far. My very 1st race was on my 2013 Kawasaki 65. I placed 4th place both times.
My trainer informed my parents I was ready for an 85 due to size. I got my 2024 KTM 85 on a Tuesday, went to 1 practice that Wednesday and completed my first weekend racing in the PacWest event that same weekend. Hardly any practice on a larger bike. There were 20 riders in this moto. Saturday was a struggle. 1st round I placed 14th. 2nd round I placed 12th. Sunday got better. 1st round I placed 11th. 2nd round I placed 9th. I was racing against kids that were older and way more experienced than I am.
My goal this next year is to complete more races. I will work with a professional trainer periodically to critique technique. I want to move up to junior and intermediate motos. I am going to try mud racing in the fall/winter.
