What discipline(s) do you participate in?

Motocross.

When did you begin riding and/or racing?

I started riding in 2013 and racing in 2024.

What's one thing you love about the District 23 ARMCA community?

The atmosphere at races are awesome and the community is great!

What is the significance of your riding number? Was it given to you or did you pick it for a specific reason?

There’s nothing really special about it to me, just liked the number.

What is your favorite track, course, trail, or event and why?

MotoCity Staples I would say is my favorite, the layout is really fun and it’s a good track to get faster on.

What is the greatest accomplishment of your riding/racing career?

A couple podium finishes.

Where do you see yourself in the next five years within the sport?

Hopefully in the B class at least, and hopefully been to Loretta’s once or twice!

If you could race at any track in the world, where would it be and why?

MXGP of Switzerland—I’ve rode this track a ton in motocross [video] games and would love to ride it in real life!

Who inspires you in racing or riding? And how has motorcycling impacted your life?

I’d say Ryder Malinowski inspires me in racing. Moto has impacted my life because I never really had a sport that I liked until I started motocross racing.

What has been your favorite machine to race/ride and why?

The Yamaha yz250f—it’s the only bike I’ve raced and I liked it better than my smaller bikes I had before racing.

What's one pre-race ritual or superstition you have?

I listen to music to get me hyped up for my motos.

What's the funniest or most unexpected thing that's happened to you at a race?

Probably stalling my bike trying to shift in a straight away.

What's a lesson you've learned from racing that applies to life outside the track?

A lesson I’ve learned from racing is that even if something is difficult, don’t give up because eventually you’ll get it.

If you could give one piece of advice to a new rider, what would it be?

Don’t worry about what other people think.
