Personal History
I have been riding motorcycles since I was three years old. My "basic training" started around the house and in my grandparents overgrown fields. The "track" had no tilled soil, no berms, no ruts and no jumps. Go fast and miss the briar patches was basically the goal. My first minibke was a 2001 Honda XR50. My first race was in September, 2007 at Doublin Gap MX in Shippensburg, PA. I finished a lap down and in next to last place. I have been racing motocross ever since. I enjoy spending quality time with my Mom, Dad and brother. I enjoy traveling to new tracks in states I have not visited before. Motocross has given me the opportunity to meet a lot of great racing families and to see many different parts of our Country. I race about 50 races each year. I have raced over 400 motos since 2008.
When I'm not racing, I enjoy all types of outdoor activities. I like to go hunting, fishing, skiiing, swimming, biking and hiking. I also like playing with my younger brother and my yellow lab. We enjoy racing our Traxxis trucks too.
In 6th grade, I was on the honor roll each marking period. Also, I was the only boy in my class to achieve the presidential fitness award in gym class. I'm now in 7th grade and have been on the honor roll each period. My favorite classes are science and math.
