Personal History
When I was a kid, I was always that guy that wanted to play outside. It didn't matter to me what I was doing, as long as I got to spend time outdoors. When I was 12, I got my first quad, and I was immediately hooked. I loved the speed and freedom that quad gave me, allowing me to ride out in the desert and to forget about school and homework. After riding quads for 13 years, I decided it was time to switch to dirt bikes. I was immediately impressed with how much more capable they were than quads and I started discovering trails I had never ridden before. It did not take me long after getting my first dirt bike to decide that I wanted to race.
Going from 4 wheels to 2 definitely took some getting used to, but I'm both dedicated and a quick learner. I don't regret making the switch for a second! Riding out in the desert is what I grew up doing and it's what I still love to do to this day. I am extremely passionate about becoming the best rider I possibly can, and I'll never pass up an opportunity to ride! After being on a bike for only 8 months, I can't wait to see what the future holds for me.

Riding Goals
My goals for riding are to one day compete professionally in the WORCS, NHHA, and AMA WHS races. I realize that will take a lot more than just being a good rider, so in addition to getting as much seat time as possible, I've been spending time in the gym working towards the high fitness levels required to race professionally.
Competitive Highlights
I only have a few races under my belt so far, but my standings have been steadily improving as I've been getting better on my bike.
My first race was WORCS 2016 Rd 7 where I finished 15th.
Next was MRANN 2016 Rd 6 where I finished 6th.
My most recent finish was MRANN 2016 Rd 7 where I finished 5th.
