Personal History
I started racing Snocross when I was 4 years old. I won the championship my first year. I then started racing MX that summer to help keep me in shape for Snocross. Since then MX has become more dominant because I have a longer season. My Dad started our race team Snirt Racing, which comes from " Snow and Dirt". We race the ISOC AMSOIL National Snocross circuit and AMA D-14 and National MX. I now have a ride coach and personal trainer that work with me to help me get faster. Our team motto is "School / Family / Racing" so school is extremely important to me. I work very hard in school and continue to get all A's so that I can continue to race with my family / Team.
Riding Goals
My biggest goal is to win as many Amateur National Championships as possible and possibly go Pro. I continue to work out and ride everyday to get as fast as I possibly can. I have the worlds greatest ride coach (Matt Crown / MCR suspensions) and the most awesome trainer (Tom Zielinski) to help me achieve my goals. Training consists for workouts 3 nights a week with my trainer and riding 2 nights a week at MCR. We race pretty much every weekend.
Competitive Highlights
I won the championship my first 4 years in a row in Snocross. In the 300 Transition class I podiumed at the Traxxas Pontiac National inside the Pontiac Silverdome in 2012 (yes snocross racing inside a dome :). My first year on a 65cc, I won the AMA D-14 State Championship for 2011. The next year I moved up to 85cc's and again won the AMA D-14 State Championship for 2012. In 2013, I had qualified thru 3 different regions on my way to Loretta Lynn's National when I blow out my shoulder at the end of May and had to sit out the rest of the season. I was cleared to race in October of that year and made a few D-14 races before switching back over to Snocross. I finished 5th overall in Snocross for the 2013/2014 season. Struggling to get my shoulder back into shape over the winter months, I didn't really get back to full speed on my bike until after I failed to make top 7 at the only Regional I qualified for in the 2014 LL chase. I have now won the last 12 of 14 races I have entered. I am now focused on preparing for Mini-O's in November 2014.
