Personal History
I am 23 years old and have been racing motocross for the past 14 years. I have raced at many Armature Nationals such as Ponca, Lake Whitney, Branson, Oak Hill, Mino O’s and I’ve made it to Loretta Lynns four years. I started racing the Pro Motocross Nationals in 2012 and making the Red Bud main finishing 33rd overall. I was so close to making many others finishing 41st. I broke my collarbone in the 2013 Supercross season so started racing again at the Red Bud National in 2013. I made the main at Utah going 28th and 26th. I finished the season finishing just out of the main.
I am working for and with Ryan Hughes so he can help me reach the next level. I am striving to be in the best shape mentally and physically to be ready for the 2015 motocross season. I have traveled to New Zealand and Australia to help train younger kids with Ryan Hughes. And have also traveled with Ryan within the USA to help demonstrate at the race schools. I feel this has also taught me how to become patient while riding.
I graduated from Owosso High School early with a 3.8 GPA. I finished 16th out of 241 in my class. I took all honor classes and received many academic awards. I also played Varsity soccer for three years and was the team captain. I received all district and all state honors as well.
I fell I am a very well mannered person and pride myself in keeping my bike and gear looking well so I can represent my sponsors in the best possible way.
Riding Goals
I am training and working for Ryan Hughes. With this I feel I will be ready for the 2015 Motocross season. I will be training at Ryno Power Gym and also have been doing some local mountain bike racing to stay in shape in the off season. I am also training younger riders which helps me keep focused on the riding skill level I need to maintain.
