Personal History
I began riding 3 years ago, just before my 10th birthday and started racing 2 years ago. The sport is all I do now, having given up soccer and wrestling to concentrate on training and racing. I also understand the importance of school and being well rounded so I have also been working hard on studying and making good grades. I have been racing in several series throughout Georgia including the Family MX series, Best In Georgia series, Scrubndirt MX series and rode my first Qualifiers at Aonia MX. In the 2012/2013 Family MX series I had several overall finishes 1st and 3rd and due to injury, finished 4th in the series. In this year's BIG series, I was moving up in overall standings, up to 11th, but am unable to complete the series due to hand injury suffered in the vurb Classic at Silver Dollar. I train at scrubndirt MX and raced 65 cc with several podium finishes, now racing the 85 cc class. I periodically train with AMA Pro Supercross/Motocross rider Auston Albers. He has been working with me on smoothing out my turns and riding consistently throughout the moto.
Riding Goals
My goals are to ride as many races at as many tracks as I can through 2015. My near term goal is to continue to train and put in some good motos in regional races and get ready for the 2014 Qualifiers. I learned how to ride and race on Georgia clay and have recently raced three times on sand at Echeconee and Silver Dollar and really enjoy it. I plan on racing throughout 2015 in not only Georgia but also Alabama, Tennessee and Florida to get more experience in different soil.
I understand that racing is hard work and experience counts for a lot. Every time I line up in bigger races with the likes of a Jalek Swoll, Camron Mitchell or Jordan Jarvis, I learn so much whether its watching their lines or how they corner or when they grab a bunch of throttle. The best goal I have is to keep racing every event I can find, keep getting on the gate with the best riders I can find and keep climbing the rankings.
