Personal History
I started racing when I was 10 years old and was on the trajectory to go pro at 16. I started winning most races I entered at a young age. Went to Ponca City Grand Nationals in 05, 06, and 07 with my highest placement being a 7th in Supermini Thru 16. Unfortunately I had some bad injuries back to back after 2007 which sidelined me for quite awhile and went the route of getting a college degree and working a full time job. Over the last few years I've been getting back into racing and currently race the Open Pro, 450 Pro, 25+ Pro, and just recently the 30+ Pro classes all around the Pacific Northwest.
Riding Goals
I ride because it's the hardest thing to do, but also the most rewarding thing to do. It gives me a good reason to wake up, eat right, exercise, study and improve at a discipline. I want to get as far as I can as quick as I can. But, in addition to all that, I have also met some of my best friends at the race tracks and am happy to show up every weekend no matter where I go and have people that enjoy doing the same thing.
This year is almost over, but I want to win the 450 Pro, 25+ Pro, and 30+ Pro classes in the OPMC Fall Series.
Next year I plan to try to qualify for Loretta's in any of the Open Pro, 25+, or 30+ classes as well as win the Open Pro, 450 Pro, 25+ Pro, and 30+ Pro classes in the Pac West Series next year!
Competitive Highlights
In two years I went from a beginner having never rode a dirt bike before to qualifying for Ponca City in the 85 12-13 class and placed in the top 15.
My first year on Supermini's I won nearly every event I entered.
My first year on 250's I was on track to win every series I entered before being sidelined by injuries.
After taking an 8-year break I came back to win the 25+ B class overall in the Pac West series, 25+ B and Open B the year after that, and Open Pro, 450 Pro, and 25+ Pro the year after that in the Pac West Series, and won the 450 Pro and 25+ Pro classes in the OPMC Fall Series the first year as a pro.
I won my first ever race on a 450.
I have had the longest streak injury free and am on track to have more consecutive years riding than I ever had in my past and am only looking to stay healthy and improve!
