Personal History
Most of my childhood has been spent growing up in Melton, I have always been a part of the local footy and it has been a massive ambition and commitment of mine since I can remember. It has taught me so much about leadership, teamwork, to work towards my goals and has socially given me confidence in myself as I progressed, which gave me the opportunity to learn how to be accountable for not only myself but my teammates.
I have been working full time since the age of 15 years doing an apprenticeship in carpentry, which I am now fully qualified as of January 2016. Entering the workforce has shown me a good work ethic and adaptability at an early age than most people and for me had been one of the best decisions I had made.
Family is so important to me as I am the oldest of two younger brothers and two young sisters, I strive to be the best role model for them and really enjoy teaching my brothers about motorbikes and taking them out on their TTR 50 I brought for them as a Christmas present.
I am a very loyal and committed person, I pride myself on my achievements and my failures, as a lesson learnt. Anything I set my mind to I work my hardest to achieve.
Riding Goals
I first jumped on a bike mid last year (2015) just riding for a bit of fun in the bush with a few mates, I had been on a bike before when I was younger as most would have, but my intentions grew to something bigger than just riding for fun at this time. I slowly lost interest with riding in the bush and focused my attention on riding track.
Seeing other riders and watching how good they were sparked my interest in continuing to ride track, which then became something like a Sunday tradition. Riding become an escape from reality, so to say, it gave me a sense of freedom, something to commit my time too and quickly became my biggest interest.
Now with my improving skills, I am solely focused on gaining as much race experience as I can and improving all aspects associated within racing.
