How long have you been racing?

I’ve been racing since I was five years old, so about 19 years.

Racing History & Achievements:

  • Started racing quarter midgets at The Little “T” Speedway at the age of five. Raced quarter midgets for seven years earning several track and regional championships and one national championship.
  • Ran dirt MicroSprints at Whip City Speedway, two years in the 270cc Youth Division and two years in the 270cc class. Earned rookie of the year the first year and track championship the second year in the 270 Division.
  • Ran NEMA Midgets for two years, and earned Rookie of the year. After NEMA I did two years part time in the Limited Sportsman Division at Thompson Speedway. In 2014 completed a full year in the Limited Sportsman Division finishing 6th in points.
  • In 2015, I moved up to the Late Model Division at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park earning Rookie of the year. I competed in one ACT race, where I finished 8th.

What are your goals for this season?
My goals for this season are to finish consistently in the top five with hopefully a few wins. But most important to have a good time and have fun. I also plan to race a few ACT races.

What made you first want to get into racing?
I grew up watching my older brother Aaron race at The Little “T” and couldn’t wait until I was old enough to race myself.

Has there been anyone important that helped you get to where you are now in racing?
I would have to say my family. My father has been my crew chief from day one and has always given me great cars/set ups to race with. My older brother has given me advice and coaching as I followed him through the racing divisions when we were younger. He is currently my spotter. And of course my mom has always been there for me and has always been a member of the pit crew.

I would also have to mention Bruce and Pat Webber. They have always believed in me and sponsored me from my quarter midget days to present.
