Personal History
I began riding dirt-bikes by age three and racing by age four. It has always been hard for my family to make races, which has helped motivate me to be the best I can be. I began in the 50cc class, as most young ones do, and quickly worked my way through the ranks. Some highlighted moments were winning the 65cc Championship with New England Motocross Association (NEMA), the Open Mini Championship 06’ with District 34 (D34), and placed second in the Senior Mini Championship 06’ with D34. I also finished 7th in the 250 B Stock and Mod classes at Loretta Lynns in 2009.
Winning several championships has not been an easy road. At the beginning of 2012 I ruptured my spleen and underwent surgery which sat me at for the starting national rounds. While practicing and getting ready for the last four outdoor rounds, I had a practice crash which resulted in a broken wrist. Where an injury like that can be crippling to a motocross career, I thrived in the face of adversity. Keeping an open mind and positive attitude I made a full recovery and have become an even better rider. I owe much of my success to the constructive criticism of my peers, which I receive with open ears. This has helped me perfect my riding style and pushed me closer to my goal of becoming one of the best.
2013 is a new year and I plan on coming back stronger than ever this year. I had a tough season in 2012 but that is in the past and I’m now focused on the 2013 outdoor nationals. My plan this year is to hit as many nationals as I can fund. Hopefully I can get some outside support to make it to all 12 rounds. My biggest goal this year is to finish in the top 10. I feel with the right training I can run with the top of the class. Highlights of my racing career are viewable below
