How long have you been riding and when did you start racing: Santa brought me my first bike when I was 3 years old and I started racing at 5 1/2 years old.  

Favorite place to ride: Mammoth was a super fun track, definitely look forward to riding there every year.  Locally, my favorite place to ride is MMX main.

What accomplishment are you most proud of: Even though it didn’t go my way during the last moto, I am super proud of my riding at Utah trying to qualify for Loretta’s. Almost qualified after taking a 3rd in the first moto but couldn’t get my bike started during second moto.  Heart break for sure, but definitely gave me some extra drive and determination for the future.

 What is your favorite non-moto activity: Going to the beach or taking the boat out to the lake

Goals for 2022 and beyond: Continue racing new tracks around the US, and making it to Loretta’s next year.  

Who do you look up to and why: My dad… he works very hard for my family.  He is always proud of me and encourages me to do my best.   

Motto you live by: Forever Two Wheels & Always Have Fun!

Shoutouts (family, friends, sponsors): Onium, duh! EMT Racing, Dirt Bike Kidz, Fasthouse, 6D helmets, Mom, Dad and my sisters.  I appreciate everything they all do for me and my riding!
