Personal History
I come from a very athletic family who have taught me the importance of hard work and determination. My dad was a standout baseball and basketball player and my mom earned a full-ride college athletic scholarship as a softball pitcher. They have supported me in everything I have done. I started playing competitive soccer when I was 5 years old. My 3v3 team won the gold medal at the Missouri Show-Me State Games. But my real love has always been motocross. I just love being on my bike. My family travels to different states in order for me to compete in the sport I love.
I attended public school through 6th Grade. I was an honor roll student and enrolled in my school's Gifted Program. My parents began homeschooling me in 7th Grade so I could spend more time on the bike.
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:13
Riding Goals
My goals are simply to become a better rider, especially in my corners. I want to place in the top three in the Super Mini class and hope to finish high in the Schoolboy class as well. I plan to stay active and fit.
Competitive Highlights
I won 2nd place in my very first race ever in 2012. I competed in the Moto Midwest MX Series and won the Youth Beginner class, which really gave me the desire to compete.
I placed in the top 10 overall in both the 85 Junior and Super Junior classes in 2013, despite breaking my left wrist and right hand on a miscalculated jump, forcing me to miss two months of racing. I also competed in an Arenacross Series as well, where I placed 2nd and 3rd overall in my classes.
In 2014, I broke my patella which required surgery to repair. I missed three months of racing. I still placed 4th overall in the 85 Senior class and 10th overall in the Super Mini class.
I had a healthy year this season, placing 2nd overall in the 85 Senior class and 4th overall in the Super Mini class.
