Personal History
I first sat on a bike before I was able to walk or talk. I was riding before my 3rd birthday and racing at around 6 years old. I am out looking for sponsors because we know that any sort of help from anyone other than family is hard to come by in the racing scene and as Ryan Dungey put it, "I want to completely throw myself at this sport and see how far I can go." I have done several training classes from places like Pala, Milestone, Perris, and my hometown, Rupert, Idaho, with Jake Weimer. I am an intern at Tate Studio Architects and a humble college kid with rent to pay and my race dog, Koko, to feed. I love going to races and practices in my suburban with Koko behind me in the back seat with her head out the window saying hello to the nice lady handing over the paperwork to sign, my bike on the back, and my supportive girlfriend in the passenger seat. To me, riding is not just for fun. Riding is how I escape from reality. I may not be the fastest racer out there but I'll be damned if I'm not the happiest.
