Personal History
I am a 21-year-old male and reside in a small town in central Pennsylvania. My birthday is May 12, 1993. I have been riding since I was five years old. I rode competitively for a short period of time when I was a child. Since I started riding, it has been largely for leisure. Two years ago I started riding competitively again. Before racing competitively as an adult when I found riding to be a leisure activity I often found myself climbing any hill I saw fit. This is something that has brought me to become virtually fearless on a quad and has helped me with my racing career as it once again took off. While I still enjoy a Sunday afternoon ride with my friends racing is what I feel truly passionate about.
Riding Goals
With Motorama quickly approaching I am now in the process of doing routine maintenance to get ready for the annual arena cross event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and the upcoming Outlaw series in Breezewood, Pennsylvania. Although, my point standings did not vary from year to year I have had great improvement. This is shown through the hardships I dealt with throughout the 2014 season at the Breezewood Proving Grounds. I plan to improve throughout the winter months and have the goal of moving to the 450B class in the near future.
Competitive Highlights
Although I have only been racing competitively for two years there are endless accomplishments to be shared. Here they are: Racing arena cross and motocross is something I see as an accomplishment. Most people pick one and focus on it. I have taken both of them began to excel at both. With each passing year I am advancing through the ranks of my classes with hopes of advancing through the classes as well in the future. An overall accomplishment seen between the 2013 event at Motorama and 2014 event is that I only qualified for my second main event in 2013 after finishing in the last qualifying position. In 2014 I won both qualifying events and had the opportunity to race both main events, finishing second in the first main event. Another accomplishment of mine is during the 2014 season when I had major engine damage. Even though I missed the first half of the season I came back with a vengeance and finished 4th in my class.
