Personal History
We moved to Tennessee in January of 2007. I saw my first Motocross race in October of 2007. On our way home from the race I told my parents that I would like to give it a try. I received my first bike, a Yamaha YZ85 on my birthday a few weeks later. I started my first beginner race in late October. I moved out of the beginner class and into the 85-Senior and Supermini class. I finished third in points in both the Supermini and 85 Senior classes in our local TMXA series for the 2008 season. An injury in which I broke my right femur on April 11, 2009 kept me from qualifying at the 2009 Regional’s. I had qualified in three different regions at the 2009 Area Qualifiers. I moved up to a Kawasaki 250F for the 2010 racing season. I ran many 2010 Area Qualifiers in which I advanced to the Regional’s in all. I sustained an injury at an Area Qualifier in May 2010 that kept me out of my first two Regional’s. I was able to run the 2010 BAJA MX Regional but was unable to obtain a qualifying position. After that, I made the decision to move out of the 250C class and start running 250B and Schoolboy for the remaining 2010 Season and focus on becoming a faster and safer rider. My dad has built a track at our house which allows me to practice daily. I ran our local 2010 King of the Hill Series and finished with the Championship in both the 250B and Schoolboy classes. I am currently running the 2011 King of the Hill Series and sitting in first place in both the 250B and Schoolboy classes as well as second in the 16+ Class.
