Rider Updates
Jan 29 2015
Well, unfortunately I sustained an injury in early November, ending my season. But I am happy to report that I am back to riding again. And soon enough I'll be racing again. Im already signed up for the area qualifier for SE LL 2015. And I am signed up to compete at the RC event in Daytona in March.
Cant stop, won't stop

Great practice sesh at DCMX yesterday. Solid ride on my 50s AND my 65. I can't make it to the Vurb Classic this weekend but I will be at the Tampa MX Shootout. Will be lots of fun for sure.

Well, mother nature won last night . DCMX was a muddy mess. So I went to Tampa MX instead. They have a new track layout and it is SSSSSIIIIIICCCCKKKKK! Had a great time with coach Jack Sigismondi. really getting some good seat time on my 65. My suspension is dialed unlike a dream, thanks to Ronnie Monk at Six12 suspension. Hitting doubles all the time. Loving every minute of it.
Sep 9 2014
Going to be getting in a lot of seat time this week. Tuesday I start back my weekly training sesh with Randy Yoho and Timmy Ferry. Wednesday is open ride night at Tampa MX. The track has been re-done and I can't wait to rip it up. Thursday is practice at DCMX. I just hope Mother Nature will co-operate.
Sep 7 2014
Well, Mother Nature won yesterday at DCMX. Rained really hard and washed out Moto 2. I still managed to put it on the box yesterday. The sponsor cup guys still went out. Better them than me.
Sep 3 2014
Really great night out at Tampa MX last night. I was hitting doubles on my 65. Dad and my teacher were proud of me. It was a lot of fun.
Sep 1 2014
Attended the I4MX Series Banquet yesterday. Lots of fun, great food and great folks. Kenny Yoho and all did a great job with the series and the party. I took 5th place overall in the PeeWee stock class and 5th overall in the 50cc 4-6 class. Not too bad considering I missed the entire first half of the series due to my broken arm.
Aug 31 2014
Solid night out at Dade City MX last night. Took first in the PeeWee Stock and 50cc 4-6. Also I tool 4th in the 50cc open class. Not too bad since it was my first race at DCMX again on it since I broke my arm.
Aug 20 2014
Staying on my training schedule and racing. Had a solid weekend at Dade City MX. 4 gates, 4 hole shots, 4 first place podiums. Big plans ahead. Getting ready for the Florida Gold Cup Series and Mini-O's.
Aug 6 2014
What an experience of a lifetime!!!! First time at Loretta's Ranch. It was beyond anything I could have imagined. Had a blast, met some great folks, and got to race. All in all a great time.
Jul 14 2014
So my mad dash for training has begun. Im working hard training with Timmy Ferry and getting in as much ride time as I can. Its hard but I love every minute of it.
Jul 11 2014
AMAZING NEWS!!!!! Just found out I was chosen as an alternate for Loretta's in the 50cc 4-6 limited class. IM GOING TO LORETTA'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jun 22 2014
Had a great week. trained with Randy Yoho and Timmy Ferry on Tuesday. Nice practice sesh at DCMX o Thursday and a great race weekend at DCMX.
And the best part of it all, my Grandma surprised me with a new bike. She got me a 2013 KTM 65. THANKS OMA!!!!!
Jun 16 2014
I didn't qualify for Loretta's. I was just overwhelmed by everything. I'm just grateful I made it this far. 35,000 try out at Areal. Only 1,100 advance. It's all learning experience. I'll be back next year.
Jun 13 2014
Well, we made it to Lazy River MX in Georgia. Long trip, lots of rain and its FLOODED. Site management is still uncertain if practice will occur today. We have a back up plan of going to Highland Park if that happens. No sense in wasting a day. Gotta get some turn time in one way or another. Regardless, I'm just happy to be here. I'm riding and hanging out with my friends and family. It will be a great weekend regardless.

Lots of great training and riding sessions this week. Had a training sesh with Randy Yoho and Timmy Ferry on tuesday at Dade City MX and a ride/training sesh with Bodie Colangelo on Wednesday at East Bay SX and a rising sesh at DCMX again on Thursday. Getting ready for I4 MX series in Bartow on Sunday then off to Regional Qualifiers for Lorettas at Lazy River MX in Georgia next weekend. Im super pumped about it. I feel like I've made a great recovery from my injury and my riding has improved a great deal since then.
Regardless if I qualify or not for Nationals, Im so grateful for all the experiences I've had and all the amazing people I've met and the friends I've made along the way. And I feel I've come a long way in just over one year of racing.
Onward and upward.

Amazing weekend overall. 2 races, 4 classes. I walked away with 2 1st places, 1 2nd place, and 1 4th place. Thanks to my mom and dad, my sponsors, and my friends and family for all the love and support.
May 28 2014
I had a GREAT weekend in Georgia. Mom took me riding at Highland Park and Durhamtown just for fun. It was great practice for the upcoming Regional Qualifier for Loretta's. Riding on hard packed Georgia clay is different than sandy loose Florida terrain. I found it a little bit easier.
So pressing on with my training and practice. I have a couple of local races in the next 2 weeks and then its back up to Georgia and Lazy River MX for qualifiers.
May 21 2014
Had another training class with Randy Yoho on Tuesday. It was great! Tim Ferry was also coaching. Rob Ruffner was also helping out. I feel so lucky to have been picked for Randy's class. He sees something special in me.
May 20 2014
Well, spur of the moment turned into a overall win in the 50cc 4-6 class in the Florida/Georgia Spring Championship Series.
May 18 2014
Spur of the moment racing today. Im competing in the Florida/Georgia series to date at DCMX. Im so fortunate to live close to one of the tracks. In fact, I consider it my home track. Not a bad place at all to call, my second home.
May 15 2014
So I had my first training class with Randy Yoho. I think it went well. I ran into some kids that I know. Plus also Tim Ferry and Robert Ruffner's kids were there. I had fun. Kinda intimidating. I was the youngest and I was the only one on a 50 (everyone else was on at least a 65). But thats ok. I still tried to do my best.
May 11 2014
Wow, a pretty decent night at DCMX Round 7. Had a little bit of bike trouble in Moto 1 on my Honda, but took overall 4th in that race. In the 50cc 5-6 on my KTM, there I placed 2nd overall. Not too bad, I must say.
Now for the exciting news, Im in final talks to begin training with Randy Yoho. I could not be more excited and honored. He coached Ricky Carmichael and Bubba Stewart as kids. Whats more exciting is that he tells my Dad he sees something "special" in me and great potential to be a champion. Him and my parents are working out the final details and scheduling. So fingers crossed.
