Personal History
I have been racing motocross my whole life. Starting on 50cc bikes, I have always loved riding and racing motorcycles. I knew from my 1st race that the sport of motocross would be the main focal point of my life. I started having success early as a mini rider by always running up front and winning a fair share of overalls.
At the end of the 2008 season (Age 12) I moved up to 250cc 4-stroke bikes. Being a bigger 12 year old the 250F was a nice change from 65's and 85's. I trained at Kyle Regal's house in Texas from Jan. - March (2009). I came out swinging in the spring and was winning local races by upwards of 30 seconds. I qualified for Loretta Lynn's in 250C & 450C classes but a broken ankle in July kept me from attending the national.
Riding Goals
For 2010 I am looking forward to keeping my momentum up from 2009. I will be one of seven riders training at Nico Izzi's race facility this winter. I will be there from January to March while being trained by Nico's dad, Norio Izzi. Norio has trained many racers including Nico Izzi, Zack Bell and Adam Cianciarulo. I will be trying to qualify again for Loretta's in 2010, attending other Amateur National Events, larger Regional Series Events and local District 16/17/23 races.
My goal for 2010 is to be consistent and stay in the top 5 in every race. I always pride myself on my image both on and off the track. My Mom, Dad and I all work hard at keeping our equipment looking good while displaying sponsor's stickers on my bike, race apparel and entry forms and never forgetting to mention sponsors when receiving media coverage. Without my family I would not be where I am today!
With current sponsors Rock River Yamaha, Warren Industries, Smith Optics, Williams MotoWerx, Club57 MX and Decal Works all coming on board again for 2010 I am looking forward to racing with good equipment.
I'm looking forward for the opportunity to represent all my sponsors to the best of my ability while trying to win as many local races in the 250B and 450B classes. I plan to race the Lake Whitney Spring National, Ponca City and Branson National and Lorretta Lynns.
Competitive Highlights
I've had many top 15 finishes at nationals over the last 5 years.... Qualifying for L.L in 2009 as a 12 year old in the 250 and 450 class but broke my ankle training for the race.... 4 top tens at the Branson National (had a 2nd in the 450 classes but got dq'd for being too young)
