Personal History
I am the middle child of 3. Our dad started racing at 19 years old. My siblings and I grew up around the race track and Mom said we fell asleep to the sound of dirt bikes. I started racing at the age of 8. When we first started we raced an outlaw series at a practice track called Breezewood Proving Grounds. I love camping and riding motocross all weekend long. We enjoy this sport as a family because we can all do it together. Everyone but Mom races. The fall of 2021 I had a big crash and had to have multiple surgeries to repair my shoulder as I tore all my ligaments. I was not able to race till the spring of 2023. I played football and wrestled during high school, so during those seasons I did not race. I missed racing those 2 years and am glad to be back and training with Lowell Spangler and Fleet 427 to get back to racing.
Riding Goals
My riding goals for this year would be to continue to work as hard as I can on my training with Lowell Spangler and Fleet 427, where we focus on not just the riding part of motocross but the physical and mental part of this very physically demanding sport. For races my goals are to continue to work so I can finish out the races on top. I plan on going to as many bigger races including Buds Creak Amateur national in August and hopefully Mini O's in November. For the 2024 season my goal is to qualify for Loretta Lynn's Amateur national with Lowell Spangler as my coach.
Competitive Highlights
So far my biggest achievement would be that my first race back after going through 3 shoulder surgeries I went 6-6 for 8th overall it was a big achievement for me after not even knowing if I would be able to ride again. So far this season I have been top 5 for most of my races I am improving every race. Lap times are getting faster and I plan to continue to make big improvements as the year goes on after being off for a year and half.
